    Not sure about the font. I think the A's should be flat and not pointy. What do you guys think?

    I don't think the scuff is bad. Looks pretty good to me. Do have to say that I agree that the fonts look a little off.

    Still doesn't occur as a typical reprint to me, but might be wrong!

    Yes, definitely a redial.

    @CafeRacer flagged that on his instagram page from the outset

    The bracelet doesn't appear to fit particularly well, the end links aren't "numbered" and there is no picture of the inside of the clasp which is usually dated...

    What are your thoughts on this Compax? The lower sub dial stands out to me, is it partially redialed?

    Apart from scrapes around the center post and on the subdials, how much of that, do you figure, is damage/dirt/aging of the crystal and how much is on the dial? I.e. the smudges at 31, 45, 59?

    It's all on the dial. Just compare the front pic to the pic from the side.
    Better question is: Can it be removed?
    Some smudges yes, but I think some not.

    I don’t like the fact that none of the sellers pics are sharp and are difficult to judge

    Immediate alarms. Avoid. Sloppy thick, out of register printing.

    Well my uni-compax finally showed up what do you guys think? I don’t think the crown is original but then again I don’t know. Shouldn’t the indices be gold as well?
