Thank you LouS for posting the UG and Zenith results from Phillips & Christies in the forums! As I have one in my small collection, I´m quite surprised to see that the 22250 Tri-compax ended up in the five digit range. Love the Hermes Compax, I think it was the better deal compared to the "Double Thirty Universalone"
Strong result for the Polerouter Sub. Condition looks almost too good. I don't think the crystal is right as the date window is the wrong shape. I'm not sure about the lume on the dial either - I had thought that the versions with lume plots also had lume on the 6, 9 & 12 hour markers. Refinished case?
I personally verified the watch at the preview. The case was in terrible condition and it had a 645xxx serial dating it to mid 30s with a clearly 40's dial. The Hermes print was not really in line with the 40s Hermes logo prints seen. I am really not sure about that one..
Thanks.Lou. I was on it and a little surprised. The Hermes did look cool, but that case was definitely beat up. The Tri surprised me also, mismatched lume and the dial looked a little beat to me. Nice lugs though!
