    Hi all,

    Just wanted to introduce myself to this forum. I am @mr.a on Ig and a passionate UG lover. Won't lie - never been much a 'forumer' - I prefer the in-person version of it - but given the quarantine and all I finally decided to sign up and hopefully contribute to this forum.

    As a first post I thought I'd share this dream UG that I recently found out more about:

    This amazing black dial early Compax retailed by Hermès was sold by Phillips in 2015 (https://www.phillips.com/detail/universal/CH080515/236) made in 1937.

    I recently discovered the same watch in an old Antiquorum sale:

    It was sold in 2006 by Antiquorum (same serial).

    Well enjoy these pictures of a fantastic watch and I look forward to seeing more of this forum.

    Best to all.

    A.
