Yea I don't really want to pester this guy. The watch is in great condition and I'd like to own it, but this particular reference is not a must have for me.

If anyone else would like it, go for it! You'll recieve a great watch.
Which are the more desirable reference?

This is a desirable reference. One might argue that 38mm vs 35mm is more desirable but to me the essence and total coolness of the Tri Compax is in 35mm. This is a great watch.

I do agree having all that details packed into a 35mm would be quite mesmerising.

I think you won't find a better tri compax for that price. This piece is really nice !

Watch is now sold 😀
Assuming one of our OF brethren is the proud owner?

I hope! Though it was not me.

I'm waiting for when I travel to London/Switzerland/Italy to hopefully find something great.

London is very expensive for vintage watches, especially Burlington arcade. Unless I'm not looking hard enough. Care to point me in any direction?

This is the list of shops I've thrown together. Doubt I'll go to all of them, I'll probably pick 4 or so. I'm more banking on Switzerland and Milan for my next purchase!

Antique Watch Co.
Vintage Centre
Second Time round
Precious Time
Prestige Pawnbrokers
Austin Kaye
Ian Blowers Mayfair
Fellows Mayfair
Watches and Jewelry of Bond Street
A collected man
Piccadilly Arcade

If anyone can help me narrow this down or add something I've missed please let me know!

Two weeks of business in town coming in June plus a free weekend. Good thing I'm out of budget. 😗
