Ok I received responses from both Italian dealers
From the SS dealer:
Dear Mr. Jumpingsecond,
Yes Sir it is brand new and inside the case it has its serial number 860100 that it is from the 1960.
On top the model regulateur is from the 1960's
thank you.
Best Regards,
From the Gold Dealer:
Dear customer,
I am Alessandro Giannotti the Sales Manager by Orologi & Dintorni, thank you for your interest in our watch, the watch is available in prompt delivery, about your question, we haven't the original papers but this movement type has been used by Universal Geneve in their watches in the 60'
Should you have any questions feel free to ask.
Greetings from Pisa - Tuscany (Italy)
So what's the consensus from our UG forensics team here? Were these dealers duped by some crafty watchmaker into buying fugazi UGs?
@valjoux72 's chrome one in the beginning of this thread seems older/more aged then these 2 here.
