FS: Second style of rare 16mm vintage UG chronograph buckles

The first batch I offered here exclusively a few weeks ago are now sold out. These have a flatter U on the buckle for Universal Geneve.

These are difficult to find. Large 16mm inner opening 1950s/60s Universal Geneve buckles with the raised Universal symbol on them. Swiss Made vintage items. I sold these in mint condition for $150 each. The ones I am offering here all have pitting from the gold-plating reacting with the base metal, but they are New Old Stock never used buckles. Great candidates to get rose-gold plated to match your Universal pink gold chronograph instead of hunting forever for a rose gold buckle. With the 16mm opening, you can fit these on many modern bands or have a custom band made for your UG chrono that won't taper the way narrow buckle end UG bands often do. Easy and inexpensive to have these buckles replated in rose gold, yellow gold or even in silver to match steel chronographs, or wear them as is.



Price is $65 each offered only to OTD members until sold out.

SHIPPING: U.S. buyers pay $3.99 shipping & tracking. International buyers pay $7.99 for First Class Registered shipping or $27.99 for recorded Registered delivery to certain countries.

PAYMENT: Paypal to billmahoney@aol.com or mail payments by check or money order accepted.

Email me at billmahoney@aol.com if you need additional information.

I have many references here. Thanks - Bill Mahoney

In the Universal section at www.Squinky.com I have also just listed many other vintage Universal Geneve items, including NOS Universal vintage straps in crocodile, snakeskin, alligator, lizard, suede and leather. Plus some UG movements, vintage UG parts and other styles of Universal watch buckles. And more vintage Universal items are being listed each week.
