An unique 1930 Universal Geneve watch – Shield On Dial Of Early UG Three Hander

New watch always excites me. This time it is a Universal Geneve gilt dial with steel case. It has the old UG logo printed. My research tells me that this logo was used by UG sometime in 1937, which allows me to date this watch to somewhere in the 1930s. I have no expertise to open the case back, so there isn’t any shot of the movement.

Thanks.
