    Up for sale is my Gold twisted lug waterproof case cal 281 Tri-Compax. I have sold my collection of tri’s and this is the last one I am willing to part with. Please see pictures and descriptions below.

    Overall good condition for this very rare gold model. The watch comes with a box and some interesting materials I have collected that period correct. The materials have 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 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.: Comes with box and some sales material

    price: $7,000

    Paypal accepted but buyer pays fees
