    last week I was checking all the spots where I have a chance of finding a nice watch, and I met an Universal Genève tri-compax that looked nice. After inquiring about price and all the blabla I wrote down what I thought to be the reference. Once at home I started doing my homework, but found nothing.
    All tri-compax with waterproof pushers have a scew-down case back and this one does not.
    So today, I went back and took some (bad) pics of the watch, but still can't find any info on this model, assuming it is not a total franken or is it ?
    I beleive the dial to be an old refinish and the date and month discs to be either wrong or refinished. 7 and 8 o'clock markers have been glued back in place and crown tube is missing.
    What really bothers me is that I can't find any other like it.
    I would really like to hear what the UG spécialists will say.
    Thank you for you time and knowledge.
    Mounir

    Run away, don't walk.

    Thank you, I as not going to buy it. But I would like to know more about it and learn something.
    So is it total franken ? Only refinished ?

    I learn something new everyday, though I had some intuition alarm ringing.
    Thanks

    This watch should have had square pushers, not round, I wish I had the dial !
