Nice 12482 fat Meeting Art (can't link directly but https://www.meetingart.it/aste/calendario-aste/asta/288.html lot 162). Funny thing is that it's in the Uni Compax section of Sala (p196) but the reference is actually Compur.

Thanks for all the links.

Finally again a nice auction.

But the website (again) is driving me nuts.

Is it just me or does it look like someone has drawn those spectacles on afterwards with a felt tip pen?

Strange one: very nice early dial but non UG caseback (and perhaps midcase) https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/petit-chrono-'compur'-de-la-marque-'universal-geneve'-1257716694/

Another strange one: caseback looks legit but the serial is on the outside and handmade (not punched as to be expected). https://www.leboncoin.fr/montres_bijoux/2653562464.htm

Potentially interesting project: https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/universal-geneve-tri-compax-or-chronometre-1940-defectueux-1257754058/ Caseback is missing unfortunately (and no numbered movement so I can't tell you which reference it is)

I wonder how this time capsule has to be evaluated?

https://www.ebay.at/itm/12508303584...peu3znwsfs&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

According to the Polerouter Reference site the 869114-02 should have the "scientific dial" with the outer track divided to 1/5 between the second markers:

https://universalgenevepolerouter.com/galleries/869114-169111-269111-polerouter-geneve/

Looks like a -01 but with an applied UG logo.

What do you think - cobbled together franken from near-mint condition parts or legit?

The engraved numbers on the caseback look also a bit shallow to my eye, ambitious price also, but the condition is very nice if it is indeed all original.

Sometimes I really wonder what the IQ of certain traders is. APR comes to mind because asking is always multiples of the value but Pacific Global Auctions is also a prime candidate. For instance this one: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/176199711_berthoud-universal-geneve-uni Nice Berthoud but chromed case. Normal value EUR 2-4k? Do they really think anyone believes this?

This is actually quite a nice dial but unfortunately the caseback (and probably the case) is not original: https://www.ebay.it/itm/256490222061
Movement is intruiging. I have a number of 287's with 153/154k on file and then it jumps to 166-169k so I can't give an indication which reference it should be.

According to the seller, the watch is intact and everything is original.

According to some articles I have read, the TriCompax of the 40s had the moon with the face and from the 50s they started using the plain moon, right?
