Up for sale is a Universal Geneve Uni-Compax Dial for a Cal. 281. Asking: $400 USD Firm Dial diameter is 31.38 mm. I sourced this dial off eBay, and quickly grabbed it when I saw the condition, not realizing I needed a Cal. 285 dial. I have kept it since thinking I would just grab a Cal. 281 with a poorly refinished dial. However, I recently sourced a Cal. 285 dial, so I no longer will be moving forward with this project. I am asking approximately what I paid after shipping and fees. This dial is extremely clean with very little patina and no damage, which I have learned is pretty rare for these UGs. For exact condition please refer to the photographs. For reference - here is the original eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ch...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Fine Print: PayPal, Venmo, or F2F in New York Price does not include any fees. Price includes continental US shipping and insurance from FedEx/Parcel pro. International shipping would be at cost and also insured from FedEx/Parcel pro. Please study the pictures closely. Returns will only be accepted if dial has been grossly misrepresented. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to send me a message. Thank you OF for the space!
It is a very clean dial. My understanding is from the eBay listing I purchased it from. I really don’t have the expertise to tell the difference. I presume the dials aren’t interchangeable for the references though.
here is a pic of the face of a 285 movement. Not sure how dial is oriented but maybe you can check whether holes stack up with feet position ... Red = registers Blue = Stem and dial feet Also, the 281 is a three register movement ...
