·very very rare and yes it is the same one from the Phillips auction.
If I was willing to put so much cash in a single watch and didn't have a very long list of watches I rather add to the collection first I would seriously think about it hihih 😉

·I had the opportunity to buy a mint one in Italy at 5K (Euro). I attempted to haggle and deal fell through.
What was I thinking 🤦 !!

Daymn what a shame! I only have 5 watches documented in my Film-Compax folder, not one them is what I would call mint. Any chance you can share some photos of this watch from Italy D for documentation purpose?

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Gotta be honest though .. I know these can be like Pokémon but 80 grand for a pretty ordinary old tool watch is...... arghhhhhh ...Just thought of that nasty old Tudor Sub ..... oh well someone with deep pockets is going to grab this. Guess it’s a badge of honor that UG has achieved this level!

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonAnother one surfaces: https://www.ebay.com/itm/132642111093?rmvSB=true

Someone has managed to scrub the red printing off, but the case looks great

·Not the best dial by any standard but seeing these rarely surface ever, it should get a lot of attention.

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonMaybe the buyer has a can of red paint and a steady hand.

The watch was offered to me privately last week, sadly I’m in no position on purchasing it unfortunately.

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonI don’t think you missed much @Dre . This one is really only for completists and brand historians, unless you have a line on a spare dial. Without the red, it’s difficult to appreciate the point of it (in fact, looks a bit like an awkward redial to my eye). I happen to have the Gallet version of the Film Compax with a compromised dial, and i don’t find that I enjoy it.
