I got into a issue with the seller when they made a mistake during a purchase. I did purchase some nice hands from them, wish they were mature
during communication !

 

Cheap for spares for someone ???

Edit to add... somebody obviously thought so ! Anybody here ?

 

It is now a bargain, price reduced by 600

 

it looks like a 22258 that someone plated themselves (and it's not sticking well). It would be very cool if the plating could be stripped back and a usable 22258 SS case was part of the outcome. Without a good case, you just have the mvmt and some of the hands.

 

The movement does not look too bad. It should not be too hard to get it running, However, case is a mix and match, some hands are not correct and dial is what it is. Still a worthwhile purchase at that price but pretty much on the border as to how costly it will be to restore ...

 

Would have paid that in a heart beart. NOS, it's a bargain!

 

Wow that watch is just superb - I need more UGs in my life!

 

Hahaha I needed that laugh ! Hilarious!

I snatched this, second polerouter (first one was micro rotor).

 

Congrats. Odd that they chose to cover up the case reference. Did the seller confirm it was S20217-1?

What are the numbers etched just above the case reference on the case back?

 

S20217-1 was the reference apparently. I don’t have the watch with me yet though. Shipping should be quite an issue in the current Covid.

 

My one of these just arrived this morning! S20217-4 so not quite the same model, but similar. I think the only difference is mine has lune dots.

 

Does anyone have thoughts on this blue exotic dial Nina on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Un...t-Exotic-Dial-Compax-Paul-Newman/293565158808Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Yes, it has nothing to do with Paul Newman, except maybe the color of his eyes

 

i mean who hasn't gotten lost in those baby blues.

 

finding correct sub dial hands would make it close to others on the market in this same condition. imo these are the types of so-so watches that are most susceptible to price drops in this economy

 

I'm curious to know what people think of this dial printing plate.

The UG fonts don't look right to me (pointy A and all that together with the unusual logo) and why would they use the same plate for different brands?

 

This was my first thought too. If the dial fonts are suspicious as well then I’d avoid.
