ABOUT THIS WATCH: MANUFACTURER: Universal Geneve MODEL: Uni-Compax REFERENCE: 12445 SERIAL: 1114623 YEAR: 1945 DIAL: The original silver Universal Geneve dial is in good shape. There is some slight dial decay along portions of the outer baby blue tachymeter scale. The dial features snailed sub registers the right of which has some marks. The hands may have been replaced in the past as, from the research I have done, most examples of a 18kt reference 12445 appear to have come with gold hands. CASE: The 35.5mm solid 18kt yellow gold case is in good shape. The case appears to have been polished sometime in the past; however, not overly so in my opinion. The midcase still retains some of the original satin finish and the lugs still illustrate strong lines. The case presents with light wear throughout commensurate with its age. The crown has been replaced in the past. MOVEMENT: Universal Geneve manually wound caliber 285. Movement number 186172. The watch has just returned from service and comes with a 6 month warranty. BRACELET: On the new, pictured, TUNS pictured genuine ostrich strap. ACCESSORIES: Invoice and 6 month warranty paperwork for the service of the movement. BOX/PAPERS: No. BANK WIRE PRICE: $2,099 shipped BUY/SELL REVIEWS ON OF https://omegaforums.net/threads/great-buying-experience-with-thegreekphysique.157222/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/niko-is-the-man.152687/#post-2080293 https://omegaforums.net/threads/another-flawless-transaction-with-thegreekphysique.146947/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/thegreekphysique-recommended-seller.144753/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/excellent-transaction-with-thegreekphysique.144355/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/thegreekphysique-is-a-great-member.143998/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/perfect-sale-to-thegreekphysique.143903/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/smooth-sale-with-thegreekphysique.94278/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/great-buying-experience-with-thegreekphysique.157222/
very nice price ! I just saw there's a pair of NOS gold leaf hands for cal 285 listed on ebay for $230 OBO. For the amount this has already been discounted you could pick up a new pair of hands if that's putting anyone off. (Disclaimer - I have no relationship with ebay seller and have not researched if the hands are correct, you should do your own diligence).
Buy the seller. Niko is as good as it gets. A very honorable guy who sells good stuff at very fair prices.
