    You would think an auction house like Watches of Knightsbridge Auctioneers, would have done their homework before adding lots ...

    How embarrassing...

    Or desperate. They know people will pay absurd amounts for anything resembling a tricompax.

    Proper late TRi-Compax case with bezel, + redial with hands from an earlier model and a movement from one or the other.

    Thanks. Trying to understand this weird UG universe.
    Sala's book is good help, but he leaves out later stuff.

    i think this is a scientific avant guard model. the double tachy allows for correction of any errors when reading either tachy. a bit like interferometry ...
