I have found this add for a UG tri compax, what do you think would be a fair price to pay for it and is it all original in your opinion? Its 18k gold, ref: 12295 Its suppose to be from the 40's but it seem to me its in a to good state to be true.
Thank a lot for the feedback, so you think its not a really interesting watch? How much would you estimate it?
Redials sort of fall off the radar for the hardcore collectors, tomadear. They are worth the value of the parts unless you happen to have an authentic dial lying around.
I went down that road -- damaged rather than redialled -- and 15 months later I'm just starting to appreciate how hard it is to find good, appropriate Tri-Compax dials out there.
If you really like the watch and the price is a steal go take it..love it and enjoy it...such model is rare...
+1 ... I'm far from an expert but I certainly wouldn't call it a steal at 3500 euros if it's a redial. Timjohn, I like your dial, its 1950s design and its lovely patina... I think you should make peace with it. A replacement dial may not have the same charm.
3500 euros? seriously? you better stay away from it...who the hell cares if you dont have a tricompax today?....get one some other day..
On the other side some tought like that a few years ago with the "evil nina" and now have some regrets...
Now im having second thoughts...its an 18k gold which is kinda rare..and if i have the money to burn and i dont care about spending so much... i would go ask the seller to lower the price a bit...
