Universal Geneve Tri-Compax 12253: Refinished Dial?

aelitis · Jan 14, 2026

Hello everyone,

I’m interested in this Tri-Compax offered at Chrono24. I‘d like to know your opinion especially on the dial before I regret it.

Thank you for your expertise!

Sadly the dial has been refinished 🙁

Easy to tell because the fonts are wrong. E.g. compare the 'UNIVERSAL GENEVE' text to this watch

Given the asking price ($8,300), I would stay away
