    Tri-Compax Sale


    Selling my 14K gold waterproof cased Tri-Compax. I believe this represents one of the most sought after models of tri-compax. The watch is all original (except for the crown), keeps good time and comes with a few goodies.

    Overall good condition for this very rare gold model. The watch comes with a box and some materials that appear to be from the time the owner was researching the watches. It has hand written notes regarding the gold models and process on a picture of the gold watch (interesting note, the writing is clearly in old faded fountain pen).


    Dial: original off-white dial shows signs of wear including a little flaking. Overall it looks very good and is clearly original and untouched. Hands are all original and show similar signs of age but are of overall good condition.


    Case: the case is in overall good condition – especially for a solid gold case. Original hallmarks and serial numbers are all still visible. Some scratches and nicks but appears unpolished. When I had the watch serviced I instructed them not to polish the case.


    Movement: Original 281 movement. All features work properly and the watch keeps good time. The watch was serviced in the last two years by RGM in Pennsylvania. Service papers will be included with the watch.


    Strap: Comes on a nice brown alligator strap in excellent condition


    Box, etc.: As mentioned above, comes with box and some sales material

    The big question - Price:

    Given the scarcity of the model I am not looking to blow these out. I will start at the price below and see where we land.


    price: $7,750 delivered.


    Sorry, other watches in the ad are sold.
