Thanks to all community for all relevant and positive feedback.

 

Your watch looks very nice, completely original, and well priced IMO

 

This really pisses me off. The purpose of this thread in particular was to put to rest all this BS . I’d like to know whom the “experts” were who advised your interested parties. I’m sorry @jsflog ..

 

I started this thread, and you have to read the whole thread to the point where it was concluded that the dials with straight tails on the 6 and 9s are original ! Not sure why you would NOT read the entire thread to learn and understand original vs redial is beyond me !

 

Proves “a little knowledge is dangeous.”

 

@rolokr .... perhaps thread name sb “An exploration of variation and evolution in Tri Compax Dials” ... this is such a great thread. Shame it’s been misused.

 

Great discussion

 

Do you like this Universal Tri-compax ?

It looks good. However, I would not rush into a purchase without some further images. Clearly a 60s re-issue dial that ticks all of the usual questionable tell tale signs. I hate auction pics as they always seem a little bleached. I would suggest some further images to conduct a full due diligence.

 

A me piace molto di più questo, su cui sono più sicuro.
I like this a lot more, on which I'm safer.

A watch from 1943-1945 with 60ies dial, signed crown and faceless moon? Not at that estimate...

 

5-6k at best. Lovely but obviously has service parts. Nothing intrinsically wrong with that but that price is silly.

 

Just re-read this entire thread. I'm "nominating" it to be stickied, @LouS

 

With an admonition to read all the way through.......

 

YES!

 

I second that ... Do we have a third, fourth and fith ..... and so on ?

 

I

 

absolutely

 

YES PLEASE BEFORE IT BECOMES A "IS THIS TRI-COMPAX DIAL ORIGINAL" THREAD.

 

Still, someone paid 12.500 $ for it...
