    Hi all.

    I seen this Compax on a Chrono24 website. Dealer claim's its all original.

    The linen dial is genuine, however, the 65 to the left portion of the Tachymetre seems warped? also the 350/300 doesn't match on the right portion. I'm just trying to verify the piece and I hope i get some opinions on this.

    Case is also polished on the to left portion of the lugs.

    Thanks in advance.

    I don’t like the scale either. Inconsistent.

    Seller is an Italian dealer named Cà Venezze orologi d'epoca di Gallinaro Pietro

    Haven't bought from him before, but he seems keen to sell it.

    I also have problems with overall condition. Look at the 35m marker vs Elv’s Watch.

    Look at the position of the seven hour indice. Out of position.

    I dont think this is a redial or anything but the dial is flawed as pointed out. Not sure how the 5 or 7 hour markers have drifted. Possibly just QC problem when the dial was manufactured. Either way you can find much better conditions.
