Does anyone won the Contax or the over sized black dial Compax at today's Kaplan's auction ? 😀

Unfortunately no!!!!

I had eyes on the contax but with buyers premium it was out of my radar

40.000 eur for the Goering (this is the only "famous" guy who owned one of these, don't get me wrong) UG are contreversial on all points 😵‍💫, 6.000 for the Contax... These are prices !
Still, I don't know for the contax, maybe it was a good deal...

I dislike the notion of calling that watch the Goring. Yes he owned one of those. Let's not taint the name of UG with Goring

You are right, let's delete the post, actually it is the only model who should have "evil" attached to it...

Hello guys,

Can anyone help chip in on this?
The fonts on the dial looks crisp to me. Case looks slightly polished and the crown does not look to be original. Is it difficult to find a correct crown? I am not sure about the moon disc as I'm quite new to UG. Or collecting vintage watches in general.

Thanks in advance!

I'll point the obvious.. The crown is a big mis-match. Pushers might be too. Dial looks good, not a redial. Handset looks overall good but I don't have Sala on me at the moment to double check.

They just don't want Canadians to buy it.

Why not go for the direct buy?
I hope that he will accept my 300.000 $ offer...
So far I tought that this seller was serious, now I have some doubts.

I would go for it, if it was a portuguese caravel or, at least, a spanish galleon but a viking ship not worth it
