Hmmm. While knowing next to nothing . . .
. . . about vintage UN, that example doesn't look authentic to my eyes. Perhaps there's a UN collector here who can weigh in authoritatively. But it seems like a second-rate refinished dial. And a chronograph, to boot.
Very few chronographs perform double duty as chronometers.

Art.. i posted an update in the UN forum based on your comment above. Thank you for your input.
I do keep track of some interesting vintage watches.. this one comes from a reputable seller/collector.. i guess its difficult to trust anyone in the vintage world..
No, no, no!
You don't have to put a watch on your wrist. There are 3 categories of judging. I was just asking because I thought may be you needed some medicated cream for your leathery skin condition.
WS is a weekly thread...
Where Puristspro members are encouraged to post watch pictures following a specific theme, as defined by the host of the week. The pictures are then judged in three categories - wristshot, static and watch of the week. That’s it, really - just a fun commu...
It would be interesting to count how many Omegas vs. how many Rolexes (Rolexi?) are posted.
That is a very eye-catching piece, Fernando.
Little doubt that Rolex produces more certified chronometers than any other manufacturer . . .
. . . and many thanks for making this your second post ever on PuristSPro! Art
Of all modern chronometers, Glashütte's . . .
. . . is, in my humble opinion, the most compelling. I can't participate at that level anymore, sad to say . . . would've loved to own one. Art
That’s simply a great collection, Adam!
Especially like the feature that the minute hand jumps when the watch is being set, so as to ensure absolute accurate placement of it. Great GOs!
I'm sure père Kev . . .
. . . had some influence shaping Junior's taste in watches. Dad's Longines . . . . . . certainly shaped mine. ;-) PS - congrats on breaking the 1K milestone! [Note to judges: this is not a chronometer, so please don't consider it while deliberating.] ...
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Your dad’s Longines - Wow! What a beautiful watch. Now that’s what I call great taste. Regards Kev.
