    Hello,

    Given that I don't know anything abut watches, I'd like to hear your opinion on this defective Universal Aero-Compax. Is it authentic? When was it made? Is it worth fixing?

    Thanks!

    Great watch. Made in 1940's. Certainly should be serviced and repaired if necessary. Let no one polish the case or muck with the dial or hands.

    Not bad. And, by not bad I mean pretty darn good. I recently received a pro education from my friend woodwkr2 regarding these aero's.

    Neway...MMMD knows what he writes. I'd follow his advice.

    I'm impressed with how clean the model and serial # strikes are on the back of the dial. Uncommon.
