Been scrolling through this thread and unless I missed a post surprised nobody talking about this Film Compax:

Please tell me it's horrible so I don't get too depressed about not having funds currently available to bid on it!

I think it was a topic here already 😉

The Film Compax pics have been uploaded: not too bad IMHO

Was just casually browsing the different auction platforms and noticed this upcoming auction of a Film Compax (15 November). No pictures yet but based on the description it doesn't match those of the Fratello article.

https://jewelry.ha.com/itm/timepiec...1.s?ic10=ExpandedResults-ItemImageDesc-040215

The above Sept 27 and the before Oct 6+-

Intruiging case back design on the ref 20889. There is a similar design in a UG watch where one can store emergency data in that 'space' https://www.ebay.com/itm/115964210265

Interesting 4 digit Uweco. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/186147911425 It was on ebay before but for a much higher price. Now a BIN of EUR 549. I snoozed too long (too much watches and should sell some first...)

Discussed this one with @martinc and he pointed out that there is a number on the lug. This is typically for some 4 digit references but not for ref 6309. Also this ref is typically chromed and has another type of bezel than this watch. Also the dials are different but that does not say that much for 90 year old watches. I assume that this dial is legit although I have no similar Uweco on record (but I do have other UG (derivatives) with very similar dials).
My/our guestimate is that this is (indeed) a 4 digit but not a 6309 so the caseback must have been swapped

And yes, the dial has been "reworked" 🤦

Curious about the serial number. Will be 600/700k

Ad is here btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexcha...jaegerlecoultre_jlc_vintage_chronograph_with/
Asking is obviously way too high

Edit: two were in the bundle and it went for 25 euro


You're kidding, a bundle of these just went a few days back for 42 euro!
Will try and find the link , but this image may just be reused from the bulk eBay listing.
