··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerInteresting one: reference 20509 both inside and outside (although I'm not 100% convinced of the outside one) https://www.ebay.fr/itm/275725737542

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerInteresting early compur (with intruiging '5' which IMHO indicates a number in a batch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnOIYot-Yk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerToo bad somebody managed to break off part of the dial. Interesting to see it was made by Stern. Movement serial 118k https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364180142397

·It looks like a pre 40s compax and i like it ... It would not take a lot to get it going. I dont think the dial is broken. Looks more like some sort of mod or may have been dropped and bent/damaged. From what i can see, you could probably straighten it and once in the case, you would hardly notice it. What you need is a side shot ! It would make a very nice period UG if you could find a case (that would be a miracle).

·Why do you think it is a redial ? It is an early dial but from what I see, it is in line with style and quality and character of early dials. imperfections are common. Here is a 22209 and shows similar traits ...

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerInteresting 12105. Based on the strange font of the minutes I think a redial but still nice https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...-cal-270-ref-12105-tank--rare--id27871777.htm

I think it’s a redial (or partial redial) because IMHO this particular dial should look like this (including the “Contax”) sign - see image below. Because this is actually a Contax cal. 285 movement. I am particularly suspicious about the subdials font and printing and relationship to the other scales on the dial.

A variation of that dial is documented ... back in the early days, you could request a bespoke design from UG. Although dial is different to what is in Sala's bible, it does not mean it is a redial as for the other.

·I have the exact same feeling. Strange font choice for the minute numerals. Also, the position and relationship of minute track and subdials is rather unusual. Furthermore, I would think that with this serial there shouldn’t be “Swiss” on the dial…
But who knows - the photo is not very sharp…
