    What better excuse to bump this thread than this latest pick up... Universal Geneve Tri-Compax, aka “Evil Clapton”, circa 1967, reference 881101/02. Couldn’t be happier to have finally scored one, and the condition is :thumbsup: . Apologies in advance to anyone who saw this earlier today on IG. Just can’t help myself, like a proud new father!

    Thanks gentlemen! I've learned so much from the UG "family" and appreciate all the kind words. Anyone who votes to "resurrect" UG in modern times just doesn't get the charm of owning an irreplaceable bit of history from this incredible brand, in my opinion.

    Beautiful watches!
    My first tri-compax and I’m guessing not my last.
    Yes I know I need a better strap. Working on that as we speak...

    Thank you. I got lucky on the purchase. Being a novice in this field I had a few forum members to guide me which was a big help.

    I have the same as well, it’s a 22279/1, I believe the dial and case combos were pretty much standardized by this time
