    Hi All,
    Wish you all an Excellent 2017.
    Can you please give me your opinion on this dial?
    Maybe some members will remember an old post about this same model, but with a differente dial.
    Thanks for any help,
    Cheers,

    Looks like a redial, you should see groves in the registers, and dont think the overlapping is corect either.

    The overlapping seems wrong to me too,

    I disagree with that. It looks correct to me apart from crown. I would have liked with mushroom pushers but that's me. Nice Pre 40s compax 30 in good condition. Difficult to find in such condition. would like to see case back and movement (should be a 386) . It should all be appropriately marked. On a black dial it would be a real collectors find!

    A little bit battered but here is another one ...

    Nope ...! Not a redial.

    you wont see grooves on early UGs. Not the same compax 30 but no grooves ...

    So your saying Uni-Compax don't have them either ? Does Uni-compax predate Compax 30 ?

    Does Compax 30 predate Uni-compax ? I always thought I saw grooves on my Uni-compax? Maybe only Compax 30 dials had no grooves or swiss at the bottom ? Seems inconsistent ?

    no, that is not what I am saying. I am saying that that particular Compax 30 does not have any. There are compurs that also do not have any but not all. There is no standard layout. There are differences.

    this may help ...

    The first one is mine
    I believe it is a redial ad the space between A and L in UNIVERSAL seems to wide.
    Any comments much appreciated

    Hello guys
    There is no universal dial with the numbers of hours chronograph rights.
    Are all radial.
    The second who posted Dino what is original.
    I'm sorry, good day.


    Sorry for the automatic translation

    "There is no Universal dial with the numbers on the hours subdial upright. Only radial numbers are correct, as in the second dial posted by jsflog."

    Correct?
