    Noted and agreed. Just wanted to point out that even some gold Tri’s from that era did in fact have holes and male springbars. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

    I own 6 TriCompax for that era none have female spring bars and 4 of the 6 have drilled holes.I think some of wether drilled holes or not depends on the reference ?

    State of the Tri collection.
    And a pretty good poker hand I’d say..four of a kind! ;)

    Nice quadruple!
    Do I see a soft spot for metal indices?
    You still need a lumed dial!

    Ha, probably true - and the most recent YG pick up on the bottom right is the "applied numerals" I've been lusting after for so long (the numerals on the rose in the lower left, and the steel in the upper right, appear to be "pressed" out of the dial itself if that makes sense - not actually applied onto/through the dial).

    While I love the look of so many of the lumed dials (and hands) on the old Tri's from the 1940s, it's also safe to say that I think I'm done at this point (I still value my marriage more than my watches...!) :whistling:::shy::;)

    Love it. I have to say that this could be the first family owned from new Tri I’ve seen here. Reference? I do hope that you service the movement though...

    Beautiful. Your grandfather has/had impeccable taste. Congrats to both of you! And post a wrist shot when time permits. She’s a beauty!

    They are so addictive, beautiful and varied!
    Only two at either end are part of my collection now.

    finally had a chance to snap a pic of my 50s tri compax with the case back off and was very surprised by how good the condition of my movement is!
