    I posted a link and photos of this watch on the "eBay" thread last month to request opinions. Many thanks to @ELV web and @Florent for helping authenticate the piece, and especially to @Larry S and @billving for their messages of encouragement.

    As I mentioned, my wife had offered to buy me a special watch for my 55th birthday, but she knew it wouldn't be a good idea for her to try to surprise me. After it had been graciously vetted by members of the OF UG community, she bought this from Andrea at Lorologiese.com and I received my gift yesterday. Needless to say, I'm really pleased with it. As @Larry S mentioned, the color of the rose gold is beautiful, and the case size (37.5mm) is perfect for me. My wife appreciates that the "Thunderbird" bezel (credit to @ELV web for that one!) and the Medico-Compax dial make it an unusual and special piece. One can still faintly see the dual facets on the lugs; I hadn't even noticed this in the original photos. The dial has some issues, but I still find it very appealing overall, and I will really enjoy it.

    Thanks Ben, she's a keeper. And it also demonstrates that buying your wife diamond tennis bracelets and earrings can pay dividends in the long run. ;)

    Dan I was just re-reading the eBay thread (swotting up on Medicos when I should be working) and wondered literally one minute ago whether you'd got this one in the end. I refreshed the UG Forum homepage.....and here it is! Congratulations - on the watch and for your birthday.

    Congratulations!

    Very nice Medico Compax. And the Pulsations Scale in Spanish is a big plus, for me at least.

    Wear it in good health!
