Terrible redial.

I am all in for a good quality redial when the dial is gone and not serving its purpose. If I had a Film-Compax I would spare no dime in getting the best quality work.
While it would be a redial.....it would be the best looking Film-Compax out there, if you know what I mean.

An auction house wanting to make money should have the same approach.
It hurts my eyes looking at that dial.....

Possible. If you are an expert at a big auction house and think this is a possible redial I suggest a career switch to second hand car salesman

Why not? Redial it is but 22522 is Film Compax isn’t it?

Agreed but if this is one and it has a FC dial it may be a FC 😉

Anyway: the seller did not want to disclose the serial

They used to be cheap 😉 USD 1.600 in 2012. Based on the movement number I'm pretty sure this was 22522 https://www.invaluable.com/auction-...ined&queryID=190192891c4c1cdb18618777003a0087

the serial is 1174502 and movement 261324, it’s correct, but a redial sadly.

this is likely the best example, both case and dial. Sold for $1600 - time travel, kidney etc etc
