The subdial hands aren’t even consistent, two thick and a thin hour register. I wouldn’t even pay melt for this watch, and I have no idea what melt value is, because the whole thing is just a headache to part out.
Neither would any of us but OP asked so I took a shot.

Hello all,

Happy holidays.

I'm really just looking a discussion about Medico-Compax watches. I'm new to UG and vintage watches, my background is more in the 90s-modern era stuff.

Anyway I've recently acquired this. As far as I can tell, original dial in VGC, obviously in person you do notice some blemishes and so on but I believe it's a 1945/6 production so to be expected. It's cased in solid 18k, sort of a rose hue though this could just be the alloy and age, hard to tell if it's intentional. But it hasn't seen much polishing imo. Original hands and gold numerals so likely to be a non-radium model.

So, I'd appreciate any expert thoughts about this configuration. If any collectors out there would like any information from it I'm happy to share as I've found it difficult to piece stuff together.

Sorry to disappoint but ask for your money back before the seller spends it ...
