UG Compax Exotic Dial Thread

Mick Tock

I own the other, the blue on dark blue exotic Compax:



Blue on the back, too:



IMHO, these watches are not classic beauties like their black or white sisters. The strange frame around the sub dials kind of overpowers the gorgeous shiny dark blue or silver background.

Furthermore, in my eyes, you have to combine these strong blue watches with blue outfits, from a white shirt with blue buttons to a shiny blue suit. And it is rather difficult to find a matching strap, let alone for 19 mm lug width. But hey, this is part of the fun while hunting and finally owning this kind of watches.

Cheers,

Mick

Soooo are you saying this watch doesn't interest you, and you would like to let it go for a decent and honest price? Sounds like its not your favorite piece or anything... Just checking 😉 🤦

may i just ask you about the red sweepinghand. this may have been changed before as well as the subregister-hands which are different, right?
maybe from a tri-compax. or do you think this could have been an original version of the hands?
just want to find out what has been delivered out of the factory at that time 😀

dear members,

as this is my first thread in this forum i quickly want to introduce myself. my name is andee and i´m a watch collector, mostly of rolex and heuer, for many years, also opened up a business with vintagewatches two years ago but that shouldn´t be the point right now as i want to intruduce a private watch.

as i was allowed to have seen and owned lots of beautiful vintage watches over the years it doesen´t happen very often anymore, that i´m totally stunned and overwhelmed by a piece.
anyways exactly this happened when i received the latest addition to my private collection. an UNIVERSAL GENEVE COMPAX EXOTIC DIAL! ladie´s and gentlemen WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DIAL ??? i honestly asked myself who needs a newman rolex? i knew about this special piece of a good friend of mine for some months and had the great luck that he was willing to release it to me.

so here is an image of this compax with one of the two very rare exotic dial versions, the more unknown sisters of the two nina´s, attended by my 6239 small daytona as her valjoux72 sidekick 😉

when talking to some collectorsfriends who also own one of these pieces i found out that there is not really much knowledge about the exotic compax´s. it also doesn´t happen often that one comes up for sale, so i wanted to use this thread maybe as a place where some informations of the community could be collected. images as well as infos about parts, versions and so on..

for example i found out that the movement-bridge of my watches V72 is signed with a 125 under the universal geneve engraving. also i have seen different handset-colours.. mine are all black, but i have also seen the sweeping-hand in red, and also all silver hands.

it would be great if everyone who has one of these watches in his collection or has some informations about them, could post them into this thread.. i guess there is still a lot to find out about the two compax versions with exotic dial.

thanks in advance and i hope to see plenty of postings here 😀)
yours, andee
