Like any UG aficionado I'm always looking at UG watches that I'd like to potentially own, especially from their complications line and the reference 884100 Big Eye is one such model.

Recently, in speaking to potential sellers, I've come across 2 different 884100/01 (i.e. the reverse panda variants) where the movement is stamped 85 instead of the expected 125. Initially I dismissed these as being incorrect or replaced part, but then someone commented that calibre 84 (not 85) was used in the…

Hi,

I’ve been offered this complete set 16520. It’s a T serial (so potentially from 96) and while polished, is otherwise, in my view, in rather respectable condition (except for the slightly overpolished crown guards). The price is compelling but I have slight doubts about the period correctness of the dial. From all other variations I’ve seen from this era (i.e. T serial no and 1996), the dial should be a Mark 5 where the 5 lines of text are lower but this seems to feature the slightly later Mark 6 Tritium dials where the 5 lines of text are higher.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, along with any other aspects of the watch that might stand out.
