I thought it would be beneficial to have this information in one thread, so here goes. If there are any errors, admins please feel to edit/amend the first post as it would be useful to have the information in one post as a compact guide in order to avoid trawling through a whole thread. I'm no expert, so please feel free to pitch in.

In descending order:

1. "UB" - 22m. Will fit Aero Compax 24 hour dial and oversized Compax

2. "UM" 20mm. Will fit Pole Router Sub and both executions of Space Compax

3. "UP" 19mm. Will fit Tri Compax and Nina and Evil Nina (by slightly shortening the width of the end links)

4. "UW" 19mm. Supplied with Tri Compax and better fit than "UP".

5. "UZ" 18.8mm found on a Uni Sonic but likely to be on other models too. Will fit Nina and Tri Compax

6. "UT" 18mm. Seen on Pole Routers

7. "UC" 18mm. Pole Routers

Thanks, HeuerLoon, this is very helpful. Of course finding an original UG bracelet is the first struggle..

Quick question, my understanding is that the early (bumper) Polerouters are 19mm and the later Microtors are 18mm. Do you know if this is correct? I've never seen this officially spelled out anywhere. Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for looking at a Polerouter case to determine if the lug width is 19mm or 18mm?

I don't know I'm afraid; I will amend the first post if necessary if someone else can confirm.

Sorry, I should have started a new thread. The reason I asked is because I have a pair of UP end links I got just for a Microtor but they didn't fit. Thought I'd tried the bumper and they slid right on. Made me wonder how I could tell the Polerouters apart (without measuring, obviously). I previously assumed they were all 19mm.

Not at all. If you give me the size and what models UZ will fit, I'll update the first post.

Hmm,

Based off of my measurements, they are meant for 18mm lugs. I think I acquired them from a non-Genta Polerouter, but I cannot recall for sure. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a model.

Great thread idea

I've got
UM on my 20mm Space Compax
UW on my late model (19mm) Tri-Compaxes

Just an observation that "will fit" and "was made for" are not necessarily synonymous. "UP" will fit Tri-Compaxes, but not as well at "UW"

Add "UX" for Polerouter

Keep 'em coming guys. Pictures are even better. The Zenith version of this thread is a great reference. This one will be too.

Thanks for clarifying that there's a difference between "UP" and "UW" Lou

What is the width of "UX"?

19mm. Mind you, it's not the standard pattern UG bracelet, but a stretchy version - the connecting links may be different.

If there are enough different sizes of this particular bracelet, I'll start a separate list for it.

I found a nearly one year old photo of a UG bracelet I once owned. It's only marked "U". I believe it was attached to another non-Genta Polerouter. I don't have the size specs.

Very nice Gigi. What size are the lugs on the case? Are they end pieces marked ?

Question for the group. Finally found a pair of UP ends in hopes of making them work on my Nina. They measure 19.96mm. Lugs on nina are 19. Checked them against my polerouter Sub UPs that are also almost 20. (should have done this a while back?!) Just wondering how people are making the UPs work as they do not seem to work the same as UWs. know they are a different shape but thought I had hit a home run with this find. Time to break out the file? What am I missing? Help!

Thanks

Jamey
