·I am new to UG, but all vintage ug should have reference number stamping outside the caseback and inside should have Ug logo, am I right. I am interested in one locally but the casebacking missing those infos.

There is no “always” with UG.
sometimes case reference and serial are inside case back rather than outside. Logo is mostly inside but not always, but these things should be in one of the two locations, if they are missing altogether that’s not good

·Thanks MarktheTime for sharing, you've motivated me to pull a Tri out of the safe for a Sunday outing.
Priceless when connections are established to previous owners such as in the form of the letter you presented....really brings home that in most cases we are caretakers rather than owners as these watches will more than likely be worn long after we are gone.

when you do obtain this grail, I highly recommend paring with an Aaron bespoke strap. It’s like a match made in heaven!

Hello from my only (not last) U.G.
how do you like having a 24 hour dial? I had one once and didn’t get used to it, but didn’t really give it much time. I like the look, but wasn’t used to programming my brain to switch between 12 and 24 hr dials.

I use GMT watches often, so perhaps the reprogramming is less? It’s only one nudge forward to have both zones on 24hr scales.
Although I’m in the U.S. and not amongst the professions that regularly use 24hr clocks, huge blocks of the world use 24hr time, as do various professions requiring unambiguous time coordination (e.g., medicine, aviation, etc.) - so I’m actually surprised we see so few 24hr dials/movements.

·Shameless thread bump...
I still regret not bidding on this one years back. I passed because it was not oversized 🤨
But I'm glad you got it !

Is that the original Tritium only that glows?
