Mr. Wind has lost the plot (19k USD is the asking price), but apparently, given recent trend, has enough clout to (exploit and eventually) sell this UG Tri at whatever price he asks...makes me think about what to do with mine now....
If you want to make money by trading vintage watches, it means selling your collection precisely when the market most appreciates your taste. That’s hard decision and a bit against human nature - just like stocks.

Always interesting to see he sells them at a massive premium without recent service

Well, he’s able to move these pieces based on his reputation. He had 2 Eric Clapton on his site for $29K each but it looks like he sold them quickly.

Not 2 but 3, all sold in quick succession despite 2 of them not having the serial of reference visible in the case back. He is feeding the masses what they want.

I've been looking for a clean, original, early rose-gold Tri Compax, so ebay and C24 send me (probably many of you too) notifications of new listings. This one doesn't meet my criteria but I thought it might be of interest to someone here.

My eyes, my eyes ! Horrible redial. First the perp did not bother removing the indices. They have paint all up the sides. Second the fonts are wrong and the print is sloppy. Please spend more time with sala and browsing here. Do not buy without consulting us after you do some delving on your own.

No argument here! There will be a buyer for this one but it won't be me.

I received my book from Sala over the holidays and will use it as a resource, along with this community. I appreciate the offer to vet a potential purchase when I find one!

My family is in possession of one of these watches. Reference 52218. We know very little about it. Trying to learn more and are interested in selling it to someone who would appreciate it.

You have your answer in the other post you made specific to the watch. This is for watches currently listed.

I have a good original dial for that ...
Does it also have original vintage patina and "compax" written over the subdial? 🤑
