Sorry, but the CH24 and eBay prices create a false impression of the true value of these watches. Just a year ago, I bought two Tricompax watches at immaculate condition for less than these values. I understand how the market works, but it’s still very disappointing.

I think you will have better luck listing it at fair market value, without much room for negotiation, instead of a really high price, with lots of room for negotiation. Although that seems to be the C24 way 🤣
If I see a watch I’m interested in listed way over market, I will rarely engage with the seller, as I don’t relish arguing with their delusions about value.

I think it's true. A ton of high priced watches sit on C24 for months and years. Anything reasonably priced disappears quickly, which is why if you just look at watches for sale, you get an inflated sense of things.

Actually I'm wondering what is the fair price of Tri compax (in this kind of condition) nowadays?

Well (again) if you look at the link I posted you can find this recent sale:https://live.piguet.com/lots/view/4...ses-de-lune-annes-1950mouvement-cal-481-mcani Better looking but less original.

Not related to the article but I need help.
Given by a friend, I need to find out the reference of this dial and is it original? Any input is appreciated. Thank.

I agree with the "uhm". The round three a a few little quirks hit the alarm button but the 60s remakes were quirky !
