    Hi All
    Can you please give me your opinion on this Compax.
    Seems correct to me but I am not sure tf the hour and minute hands are from this dial.

    Hands have lost their lume but are original. My watch for comparison:

    I don't believe that the hour and minute hands belong to this watch, they have the wrong length. I even doubt that they are UG originals

    The seconds subdial hand is wrong too...

    Guilty!
    Probably needs a lot of work but I will take the risk.
    Dial seems very good

    Agree and the movement doesn't look very good either what's strange because the seller is a well known spanish watchmaker, who even has is own brand in the market:

    It is not a military watch. FS stands for "Ferrovie Stato" which means state railways. They are nice and relatively cheap going between Euro 150 and 300 depending on condition.
