Help with vintage UN
To my untrained eye, this watch looks correct, but the are so many variations with some having the anchor on the dial, while others appear without. Some say Locle Suisse, while others say Locle Geneve. What do you guys think?
Looks good to me!
Nice piece! Looks good, it's complicated with vintage UNs as they did a really a lot of different things with their exports (movement only at times and then cased up in the receiving country), but this looks OK.
What country is it originating in?

Thank you for the response
Its originating in Italy. Is it ok that the crown dies not have the UN logo?
Will it be difficult to find parts in the future?

Mine says hello!
I asked the production year from the UN factory and they told me that my watch was produced 1946. This model has been made only 500 pieces.
My watch is in NOS condition.
Spare parts to this nicely finished movement can be hard to find. The base caliber is FHF26. Of course wheels and something else can be taken from other watches with this caliber.
Best regards,

Beautiful watch.
Wear it in good health. Is it safe to assume that the watch I posted is from about the same year as yours?
