Fantastic memory Larry! Looks like that poster had the same thought as me at first...

UG collecting really is a minefield

Not perfect but still a little Jewel ...

With help from some friends (Diabolik, Larry S and gop76), as well as Mr Sala himself who saw this and I quote:

Hi Jeremy, the tricompax in the pictures is all original and seems in good condition.
The reference is 12253 of 1954 and is published at page 360 of my book.
In my honest opinion you can buy this watch without doubt.
Best regards

There was a "Buy It Now" listing as well.

I don't understand what's going on.
Bidding is still open....and yes I have hit Refresh.

Beepos

Be a little careful. Seems a but shady

Xeer

I definitely agree with that. But I paid with PayPal. So .. fingers crossed at this point.

Please forgive me in advance if what I post below is an affront to all things original. While i'm not versed in the UG chronograph scene, I thought I'd share for your interest an item being auctioned at a local (Toronto, Canada) auction outfit over over next few days:

Their "estimate": 700 - 900 dollars.

even if the seconds sub dial looks doubtful

Nothing wrong with it. Possibly a case of looking at it too closely.

Very sharp looking case. All-original except for the month wheel. It could have just aged differently given the uneven aging of the dial, but more likely a service replacement. I'm a big fan of these thin bezel cases - wears quite large. Should be a wonderful watch after service.

Diabolik

It is a 60s UG commissioned dial so (although acceptable) not a real 1940s original. I would also add that mechanically if may well need looking at judging by the position of the day wheel.
