    Which one would you choose for a daily wearer?
    A. Zenith Uni-Compax. (looks unpolished, dial slightly aged)
    B. UG tri-compax (looks highly polished, dial dirty)
    C. None of them; "you should choose a watch in better condition as a daily wearer)

    Thanks!

    Case size? KInd of a critical detail....

    Based on the info provided, I would go with the Zenith. That Henri Jenneret case has a ton of character, and it looks to be in decent condition, although I would certainly insist on further photographs before forking over my hard earned money. The dial is not in great condition, but neither does it look fatally compromised.

    The Tri-Compax is in middling condition at best, and just looks tired.

    Thanks!
    Both are 35mm.
    I have already asked for higher resolution pictures.
    Curious how you managed to identify the case manufacturer. (Which indeed does have the "166" hammerhead).

    Jenneret appears to be the only one who makes that case style. It comes a variety of sizes though, from 38mm to 33mm and perhaps smaller.
