I think vintage UG is much under-appreciated. I hope others will chime in.
Here is what I have heard/read about vintage UG, most of it NOT supported by fact or data:
1) Was exported to US with Patek Philippe, sometimes referred to as the "poor man's Patek" like LeCoultre is sometimes called the "poor man's Vacheron &Constantin."
2) Quality on par with the best "unadjusted" movement makers like LeCoultre, Omega, Longines.
3) Difficult to find parts for repair.
I think the Hodinkee web site favors the vintage chronos in particular. I have owned a few over the years, and currently have a time-only in an 18k case made in the US by the Star Watch Case Co. (presumably to avoid import tariffs). Funny, the case is signed "UNIVERSAL GEN�VE" with the accent over the E in the wrong direction (should be �).
Their are a few icons from the UG house, most notably the Tri- and Aero- Compaxes, and the PoleRouters. I tend to see what are (to my eyes/wallet) better deals on non-chrono Universals than I do, say, LeCoultres or Longines of the same style and era. I think folks just forget they made watches that were not chronos. Works to the buyer's advantage if you ask me...
