A lot
of people wonder why jewels are so important, well
simply if to you had a metal post going through a metal hole after a few years
or so the hole would wear out and become a bit oval which will affect the watch,
if you put a jewel in this hole with a bit of high grade oil and put a metal
post into the hole it will keep it's shape forever! |

UNIVERSAL GENEVE
ULTRA RARE 18 KARAT SOLD GOLD DIAL AND BUMPER AUTOMATIC WELL SERVICED 1956
STOCK ITEM # UN220------Here's the dilemma........ This is a fully serviced
original 18 karat solid gold dial for a VIP ( perhaps a prince not sure) Arabic royalty person which is
on the correct 138.SS bumper automatic Universal movement but! the original 18
karat gold case was (grrrr) melted and so I bought this rare movement and dial
"sans les case". As this is an ultra rare solid 18 karat gold original dial and
movement it warrants to be with a case. This is a gold filled case made for the
Universal Geneve factory by ""Star Watch Case company". Many early
Polerouter Universal Geneve watches
etc were case by Star watch Factory and unsigned with the Universal logo in the
1940's and fifties". If this was the original case you would expect to purchase
this piece for over 6000.00 USD and possibly more as they are scarce and rare.
From lug to lug this case is 40mm long and wide less the crown it is 34mm across
less the gold filled crown. The case serial number is 2,432,375. The movement is
fully serviced and it is a Universal Geneve 138SS with 17 clean and inspected
jewels. As I am fluent in all bumper automatic movements this piece was well
serviced the proper way so expect a good reliable time keeper. There are no
personal engravings on this case and the back is a screw in piece. If this dial
and movement was in the gold Universal case it would be in my collection and
never see the light of day but it is once again recased in a Universal Geneve
case by the Star watch factory and you have an opportunity to purchase a rare
dial and movement at a fraction of the true value.
