Hi Everyone,
I feel very fortunate to have landed this Compur from the mid 30's, purchased by the original owner in Geneva (was living there from the 30's to the 50's). The dial is unreal, and looks 10x better than in the photos. (It's an iridescent eggshell, and always ends up looking a bit washed out on camera. The dial graphics are also more crisp, sharp, and vibrant than in the photos). The SS case is in great condition. I'm over the moon on this one. Thanks to @Florent for technical and moral support.

What a great find ... congrats! The owner obviously took very good care of this watch.

Maybe a new strap is in order. 😉

this one looks and smells like about 80 years of sweat and tobacco. I kinda like it and it's kinda gross. 😀
