An interesting 22416 on eBay now.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2258211269...xzxeK-tS-C&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It’s a 22416 case with a 1940 serial, so should be a “no Swiss” Compur.
It’s fitted with a dial, which is almost certain a later one (Uni-Compax, marked “Swiss”). The interesting thing however is the dial inscription layout.
I have not seen a Uni-Compax dial like this yet. Pretty cool, actually.
It does not seem to be a redial.



Pity the dial and rest of the watch don’t match…

For comparison - this is the normal layout of inscriptions on a Uni-Compax dial with the same (or very similar) graphics (again, ignore the case, it’s a newer dial in an old case, sold by Lorologiese):

I have my doubts. Overall, the printing quality of the ebay example just doesn't seem to be that good (arguably this could be because of the poor photo quality). The spacing between the tachy and the minute markers is also not consistent across the dial. The 100 and 150 marks are basically touching the markers but the spacing at the top of the dial is much larger.

I mean, sure, the inscription is strange. But otherwise?

rare dial, legit from what I know
If you magnify the photo, you will see scratches on the dial filled with paint and several uneven parts. It's a very good redial, but still a redial.

Might just be me, but the Compax also looks as if it is on a slight slope and bolder due to retouching?

This was an interesting one: Zenith Compax https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134771780500 (BIN at EUR 1.740)

Zenith Compaxes typically have a higher serial, 18K case and a 136 or 156 movement.

This one is a redial I assume (although I can't immediately fault it)

Welcome. Perhaps nice to introduce yourself and tell us more about the watch and what your own research brought you so far…
