Just this advertised as an Evil Clapton, but I thought one with the white dial is called a Panda dial, and it's worth significantly less? Sorry for the noob question but I was astounded by the price.

 

It's a Clapton

 

Clapton wore the panda dial, its far less common than the black dial.

 

Its got condition issues too.

 

Thanks guys. So the white panda dial Tri-Compax is known as the "Clapton"? But why "evil"?

And what are the condition issues?

 

What look like bubbles in the dial. Top of minute counter etc. I'd not buy this without a personal inspection. Its been discussed privately.

 

Right, but the watch for sale has a white dial, and yet it's referred to in the ad as an "evil Clapton", which is why I got confused.

 

Damn I was very interested about this one. Bubbles? Looks more like dirt no?

 

Thanks. I haven't looked UG for a couple of years, but wow surely prices have changed since then! I'm sure I saw a Clapton for MUCH less than that back then.

 

Cant tell. Looks like something is wrong with the paint. 20K is a lot of cash.

 

Well I didn't think the were THAT rare. I used to see one maybe two or three times a year? Can't remember, but wow, $20k EUR!!!

 

OP watch. Because threads are USELESS without pics.

Guys. More pictures from the seller. Indeed it seems like bubbles on the dial. Opinions appreciated please

Thanks!

 

Bubbles or boogers?

 

Or corrosion that's what I fear
