    Errr - I wasn’t saying it was a service dial - would be a pretty rough service ...

    Tricompax ... no hyphen or space. It’s been done.

    In UG Tri-Compax chronographs with ref. 22536, sometimes, it is possible to observe a dial that:

    1) It does not have the telephone notches in the minute counter;

    2) Not hyphen or space in the word Tricompax.

    Despite these anomalies, this quadrant is considered original (ambros et al.).

    I think that my friend Mlafra had already said all this.

    Hi All,

    Sorry for bringing back this post, but I think this is the correct place to post this

    As some of member here have noticed, I had a Tri-Compax with reference 22258 for sale at private sales for a long time.

    Although I had some positive feedback from several members watch went unsold.

    Everybody said the price was right, watch looks good, but the only 2 strong offers I had, member later declined based on this thread.

    They both said that they saw this post, based on recommendations from other members here, and they did not fell comfortable after reading it, with regard to dials authenticity.

    I believe there is no 100% true or sure with regard to UG dials configurations, or cases or more recently chrono pushers...

    For me I believe watch is good and dial is original, but please I would like to receive your opinion, based in facts and past experiences.

    I do not want to put here on sale a watch that is not original or re.dialed and announce it as original

    I also have a 12251 with a aged dial, and lettering and fonts seems similar to me.

    Any feedback, positive or negative is much appreciated

    I'd love to hear what the concerns were. The dial is 100% not a redial.

    Hi Thanks for feedback.

    The concerns are the "pig tails" in "6" and "9" in chrono minutes sub-dial.

    I presume, that like me, the potential buyers do not read the full thread and based in the first posts on this thread, consider the dial to be a late execution or redial.

    Thanks

    dial 110% original and appropriate for the watch.
    Probably the buyers did not read the whole discussion because it is true at the beginning of the thread it looked like the originality if these dials was put into question but we then proved without any doubt that they are indeed correct and original.
    Nice watch by the way, overall very good conditions.

    At some time or other, dials with straight tails on 6s and 9s were questioned. However, after much research and contribution by the community, they were confirmed to be 100% original UG variants.

    Just backing up what's already been said. Nothing wrong with either of those dials ...
