·Dear Forum,
I am offering for sale a Universal Genève Wilhelmina / Webersdorfer - reference 31250, manufactured c.1941. This is a well known and documented reference, one of the few service watches from UG - we still seem to be on the fence whether it was for the Dutch Royal Army or for the Wehrmacht.
Please see below an article for further reference:

This particular timepiece is beautifully aged, with original lume, and was serviced a couple of months ago (service invoice included in the sale). The dial is in excellent condition.
