Yes they should be gold. Weird that all of them are tarnished like that

Hey guys. New to the Universal Geneve chronograph game. I recently came across this unicompax in a website and was hoping to get the hivemind's opinion. The hour hand looks off to me but was hoping your opinion before I pull the trigger. Is this a watch worth pursuing or should I be waiting for a better example

I tried to find this on Flea Bay without success. Hands can be sorted as this is a smaller case. Dial is correct but fair at best. I'd want a movement shot and inside caseback shot. I'd wait for a better example.

Dial is weathered on the pics, but can look nice in the flesh. Hands can be sourced.
Any movement pics?
It all depends on the price.

I gotta ask You guys think this watch is a redial? I got it for €627 Not a terrible price if it is a redial I think.

hard to say from low quality pics, but I would lean towards redial from what I see

Hi,
What do you think about this Compax?
1. The dealer says the dial is original. It looks so in the flesh. Do you confirm from the pictures?
2. Is it worth 5k€?
thanks!

Dial looks good.
Minute hand is too long.
Worth 5k€? What's the diameter? Apart from that I would not pay that much.

Conditions are excellent and dial is good.
For sure it deserves a premium.

It’s a very clean watch. SB 37mm at that price point. Not bothered by minute hand.

I'm assuming it's serviced? Overall condition seems very nice but €5k is on the steep side in my view.

Thanks a lot @Oku @vujen @Larry S @klugt1990
It is serviced. From my memory size is 36mm. So a bit expensive. OK.

Given you guys are experienced, I will ask you a very subjective question:
Would you rather buy the Compax for 5k or the Zenith for 4k ? (Both serviced)
