: Just spotted your thread on OTD. Interesting watch and should date
: to around 1962/63 but I am not convinced it is right as it
: should have dauphine hands not the hands you are showing. The
: print on the dial is was also adopted later. Early UG compax had
: an applied U sign and applied silver batons. Check the movement
: and see if it is marked 130 or 85. The earlier should also have
: a berguet hairspring which was discontinued with calibre 85
: (both based on the valjuoux 72).

: You are right about references. The first number is the reference
: or model and the second number is the serial number. Serial
: numbers were 5 digit until around 1963-64 when they went to a
: six digit serial number.
