Oversized, fully serviced Universal Geneve Tri Compax. UG ref #42406, and the serial places the watch at 1945. Gold plated case at 36-37mm without crown. Cal 287 movement has just been fully overhauled at cost of $2500 in October of 2017 and still has remainder of 1 year service warranty. All functions are correct. Copy of service paperwork will be provided with watch to buyer. Dial is completely original. Case and dial show patina and wear as expected from a 70+ year old watch. Hands - looks like the hour hand is a stick rather than a leaf hand, this was just pointed out by someone on OF. All the other hands are original. As is often the case, there is some plating/metal loss on mid-case and bezel from repeated openings in the same spot with a case knife. (The bezel has been rotated so that the plating loss is now positioned at 12 oclock position, see photo). Comes with brand new GLC ostrich strap (cost $100 USD) AND vintage UG buckle (cost $100 USD). Please note there is some pitting on the buckle (see photo). Includes free shipping CONUS, Intl at cost. Seller feedback here on OF: https://omegaforums.net/threads/bgrisso-top-notch-seller.69430/
Super clean. Original moon ... good opportunity for those Jonesing for a quality Tri Compax. Here you go.
A hawk eyed member on OF pointed out the hour hand is not an original leaf hand. (Where were you when the watch was vetted several times on the UG forums, lol !) Anyhow somehow I missed this the past several years, but it sure does look more like a stick than a leaf hand. I have dropped the price another $500 to account for this hand, I think this is more than fair. Getting into serious bargain territory. Show me another oversized Tri compax with a dial this nice, fully serviced, warranty, strap and buckle....
All this is a great watch at a fair price. The original moon face is rare as hens teeth and it and the watch are in great condition. Watches like this do not grow on trees.
you are tempting me ... I am committed to another and i am trying to find a reason to stretch my overdraft. where are you located ?
man, I must be getting into bargain basement pricing to get the UG hoarders out picking through my stuff, lol ! I'm in the states, Cali....
