    I have for sale a recent purchase (bought from @kyle L) that I just didn't bond with. I'm sure there are plenty out there that would be willing to give this 'Uni' a good home!

    The watch is firmly priced at the price I paid 6 weeks ago: $2250 OBRO with CONUS shipping inclusive; via PayPal for qualified buyers...

    Here's the listing by Kyle from 6 weeks ago:

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-universal-geneve-uni-compax-22223-cal-281.42026/

    I will add that the recent movement service performed gave this watch some incredible numbers (all amplitudes in the mid to upper 300's!), and excellent timekeeping! I'd be happy to provide more specifics from my Timegrapher readings for anyone who's interested. Chronograph functions (start, stop, reset) working flawlessly...

    Please look at the photos closely, as they describe the watch much better than I can do. Kyle took some excellent shots, movement inclusive, and they are recent and fully representative, so I have included them below. The last wrist shot taken by me, wrist 6.7in (17mm) circumference. Let me know if you'd like additional pictures.

    As you can see, the dial has some gentle and appropriate aging. The minute hand has some slight lume loss, and the case does appear to have had a light polish in the past. The case, by my measurement, is 33.4mm wide w/out crown, lug-to-lug 41mm, lug width 18mm. Crystal is without cracks or scratches, excellent condition.

    The watch comes on the strap you see in the last picture. I'm not sure if it's true crocodile; if not, it's a very good fascimile!

    Feel free to ask me any questions. Sale will be final, unless the watch is not as described in my ad. Thanks for looking!

    Bump.

    I used a toothpick to get out the bit of dirt you see on the crown in last photo, and a few other spots, FWIW...:)

    Had a flurry of interest, even a buyer after the first hour, but a spouse intervened! :eek:

    This will be going back into the box, soon.

    I'll listen to offers... :thumbsup:
