No real doubts about the black one btw. Trying to be polite ;-)

Compur looks legit to me but there are indeed some minor inconsistencies

Wonderful Compur: https://es.wallapop.com/item/universal-geneve-compur-883861821

Agree with vujen here- This looks like an old redial imo. Its hard bc its really a good dial overall but I just dont think its factory original.

Interesting ref 7570 Compur 30. Dial may be an old redial. 31mm case. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125823450392 Ended at EUR 691. Kind of a bargain I think

This 22283 with asking price of USD 6.949 was sold rather quickly. Consensus is/was that these black dials are not legit if I recall correctly...

Well, it’s a good looker so someone got a nice watch to wear. I’m inclined to adhere to orthodoxy and say refinish dial but it’s really good.

Thanks! Missed that one 😉

Another Telesport emerged. Obviously not the original dial of this 22486 but still interesting https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...---compax--telesport--vintage--id28080134.htm

Prototype 😁 Unmarked case. Movement may be from a early 800k 12512 or so

https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...mpur-prototype-40-mm-oversize--id27803182.htm

' Very rare and unique Universal Geneve with rose gold case, cornes de vache lugs, oversize 40 mm, from the 1935/40s in NOS condition with a spectacular dial, a watch that cannot be found in this configuration. My consideration, we are dealing with a prototype, a unique piece.'

It's crazy how often the pushers are replaced on these spillman cases. I wonder if it was a bad design or something?
