Yes. Dr Crott recently sold one for EUR 25k (excl. 22% fees I assume): https://www.uhren-muser.de/en/53106...neva-pilot-s-wristwatch-with-chronograph-30-m

Very bad pics for a very nice watch!

Two AC's sold yesterday at Henry's in Germany.
A nice 22546 (so 37mm) for EUR 3.600 excl. 29% fee which is well bought I think

Also another 287 with some issues: redial and no serial/reference in the CB. Sold for EUR 2.700 excl fee.

Interesting one at Jones Horan: https://www.auctions.jones-horan.com/211031/html/items/56020.htm

I have one other 22290 with close serial in my records. The one here for sale is 1.075.585 and the other one is 631. The latter has a numbered movement (and swiss marked dial) and this one not. No movement pics so unknown whether that one was a US import as well.

Some others:
https://sabiwatches.com/product/1940s-universal-geneve-aero-compax-ref-22290 (unknown whether movement is numbered)
https://www.romainrea.com/en/collectors-watches/universal-geneve-aero-compax-waterproof-ref-22290/ (serial blurred but movement number close to the Crott one so most likely 1.075 as well. US import mark)

Another 22290 for sale in Italy - #1.073.442 - https://www.subito.it/abbigliamento...compax-anni-40-originale-modena-379716104.htm Poor pics and I'm not fully sure about the dial but (partial) redial IMHO.

Mark020 · Oct 9, 2021

Sotheby will sell a 22477: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auc...compax-reference-22477-a-stainless-steel-dual Obviously a rare reference but I think the dial is redone

Mark020 · Oct 9, 2021

Nice 22285 project for sale.

Needs a 235.xxx 283 movement. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313554692993?hash=item490150eb81:g:Gu0AAOSwtfdgsBcJ

Sometimes I really wonder what the play is of these lower end auction houses. In this case: Peter Kloeter. Redial not disclosed, no serial, no movement pics.

This 22285 trainwreck was sold for EUR 2.510: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203665786712?hash=item2f6b6d4758:g:U9cAAOSwEFlhdat~

Very strong result for this 22290 at Jones Horan (USD 11k(!)): https://jones-horan.hibid.com/lot/102132978/universal-gen-ve-aero-compax/?ipp=100&q=&ref=catalog. Nice example but certainly not perfect. Movement may be replaced...

I should sell mine … but then I’d not have it anymore….😗.

Decent 52205 at C24: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...-cronografo-anni-40-oro-14-kt--id21543724.htm

No movement/inside caseback pics. Hands replaced(?) and overpolished cased. Asking of EUR 5.700 seems a bit ambitions for a 32mm

Hands are definitely replacements… I’d want more pics …
