Ben Clymer rocks one of these. Not sure if it's the same watch or not.
No question about that but they had enough time now to update the article with the new information.
Louis has replied in the comments section at the bottom of the article agreeing it is the same dial. Think that's sufficient.

Yes sir. They are exact if you ask me. Besides all the same slight marks, look at the spot on the hour sub register between the 12 and the first 1/2 hour...there is a slight dip in the silver/grey..identical on both

Yes, you are absolutely right! We can actually see the same marks on both dials (which I had missed at first): the dots in the chronograph subregisters but also the thin line in the seconds counter between 14 and 16, and the trace just before the one o'clock dash. Despite a weird timing (the dial was marked available yesterday, one day after the watch was officially sold), it has to be the very same dial. I have let the dealer know about the questions and he will very likely respond to the comments here
I have always been curious about « spillmann» cases. How can you see it`s
a spillmann case? Markings? Or maybe someone can post a link to read more
about it?
Thanx guys!
Looks like Hodinkee is not doing his homework and spreading the wrong news ...

Notable Sale Of The Past Week:
Universal Genève Compax With Prototype Dial Bringing More Than $50,000
7 OF 8
This is the second reference 22410 featured today, and has one of the most striking dials you will ever see. This futuristic dial has also appeared on references 12251 and 12392. There is some debate as to whether the dial can be found on more tool-watch cases, like the 38mm waterproof 22410, but it is now accepted that two versions of this dial exist. Nonetheless, it was promptly snapped up when the dealer MentaWatches offered it for sale at around $50,000.

The whole Compax thing got really interesting when members of the Omega Forum, a few hours later, spotted another of those dials for sale at "just" $2,500. Needless to say, it was gone in seconds, and one can only wonder when and where it will resurface.
With the first UG in the article it states watch had an Extract from the UG Archives. Is that possible since they’re no longer around?
