Nice 222100-1 from Eric. Reasonably priced IMO

What do we think about this one? Dates / moon window and sub-hands look wonky…

Everything is wrong

I’m new to the Tri-Compax game, but searching through the forum I don’t think I’ve ever seen an “Aero-Tri-Compax” redial before! Asking 12k for it seems almost criminal.

New AQ catalogue is online. Lots of nice stuff. Most interesting UG is this one: a 281 31mm Compax 30. Never seen one (so 281 & 31mm) before. Too bad no numbers visible https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/universal-geneve-compax-30-lot-377-248?page=13&q=

Thanks for the heads up!

Are these hands common on a 12253?

looks like a service dial, replaced H/M hands, date hand looks wrong, crown replaced, maybe other issues as well, can't tell from one pic

Also interesting to find the Tri-Compax font on the hour and seconds subdials of this “Anonymous” Do you think Universal and Anonymous (I suspect it’s perhaps a Gigandet) used the same dial maker?

Always intruiging how watches travel the world (and double in price). From:
https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/universal-geneve-uni-compax-chronograph-1260963832/ (Switzerland Feb 2025: not sold but asking about EUR 2.800)

To Japan April 2025, asking EUR 6.800... https://www.watchnet.co.jp/en/item/view/6330 (hint: the dot in the 6)

I’m thinking about pulling the trigger. Does it all look correct to you? Thank you for your insights, much appreciated!

I don't have time for an in depth assessment but from everything I'm seeing so far it looks like a nice and correct "Truman" Tri Compax. Price looks quite reasonable for these days.
