feedback on this piece appreciated. Came up for sale.

 

Nice patina! The case look really bright, polished?

 

Not sure. Wondering about that and whether the dial is patina or it was cleaned.

 

Size, ? Reference is polished off ?

 

Case is polished for sure !

They’re pretty deep.

 

Very nice, alhough the month disc isn't matching , looks like like for a champagne dial...

 

Hmm..the accent in geneve is still present Doesn't mean it hasnt been washed but washed but less likely?

Thoughts?

Ive asked for out scale pics also

 

You guys are really maniacs !

 

It looks fine man....

 

It honestly looks absolutely fine and in amazing conditions to me!
I don't think the case was polished or the dial cleaned, it is probably the lighting of the picture, it looks in very very good conditions to me.
The only small weird thing is that the day disk seems to be in Italian, whereas the month disk seems to be in English.
That's all. All the rest seems to be in good order and in great conditions to me. And let's face it: it just doesn't get better than this in 1940s Tri Compaxes, this is one of the best two/three example I have ever seen, period.
One last interesting thing: on the lug at 11 o'clock there is something that might be an import mark. By memory I believe that Portugal used import marks and the day disk could indeed actually be Portuguese and not Italian, given that the words Sabatop/Sabado (Saturday) and Domenica/Domingo (Sunday) starts with the same 3 letters.

 

And June in Portugese is Junho.

 

Ah! Even better! Than perhaps even the month disk is OK at the end

 

looks gorgeous.

That stamp on the 11 O'clock lug is consistent with my Portugese Triple Date Calendar Moon. However mine is on the side of the rather narrow lug.

Hope you bring this one home.

 

Here is how a Universal case looks when unpolished

@fabfab_iconeek it is very common to review watches here. It is also common not to divulge the seller if one is considering the watch.
