··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerAnother 22477. Interesting dial. Redial IMHO but the basic design could have been UG. https://auctions.sterlingvault.co.u...-details/fda0bfcc-00d6-451b-b060-ae1c00b82273

·First time poster here.
I stumbled across this post here a few days ago and was intrigued by the knowledge of you guys.
Anywho, I thought I'll post my Aero Compax I bought in the mid-nineties. I have not worn it in years. The large chronometer sec hand does not reset to zero. I think it is called chronometer creep?The has dial obviously been redone by, what i thought at the time was one of the best companies to do so in Germany (so yes, I admit to the sacrilege 😀).
Anyway, I'd be interest of what you gentlemen think of it and appreciate any comments or feedback. Thanks and Aloha

USD 135 in 1947 would be USD 1.687 now. I'll take 5 sir 😀

·Welcome! Kausemann redial? In general not bad I think. Still very nice watch.
Thank you! I honestly can't remember who did the redial, but remember that it was near or in Pforzheim. So it could have been Kausemann. It was sort of before the internet days and I was happy that I even them.

·Not a big deal to get that watch serviced.
Thank you for your response. I'm in Honolulu and the only watchmaker I really trusted and who wouldn't charge an arm and a leg retired. Not too many options out here.
Sadly the redial hurts the value, but you might be surprised, pleasantly, at its value as a donor or if someone has a dial.
I kinda knew back then that it wasn't the best move to preserving value. I just wanted to beautify and wear the watch that had cost me $300 at the flea market in Mannheim, Germany. Not an insignificant amount for me 25 years ago.
Now that I haven't worn in years, I need to figure out what to do with it. Imagining the watch as a donor is heartbreaking 🙁

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerDisclaimer: the caseback may be legit if the last numbers of both reference and serial are obscured. The 237.xxx movement is mostly found around serials of 1.068.xxx so not that far away
