Cool medico-compax in nice condition.

I don't think the chrono sweep hand and buckle are original

Sadly I think a lot more is wrong with that watch...
Starting with the ref (not a M-C) and serial (too early).
Probable redial, wrong hands ...

I would be very surprised if this was a redial

Here is an example with the same handset:

Notice this one has an early serial as well 🤔

Of course, the hand set on this one could also be incorrect

Makes sense that the serial is too early, since the M-C came out in the late 40s

It is a really crazy time to like and follow this brand...

Mid to late teens were bad too. But now we are at another lunacy peak. I love my watches too much to sell … gotta get over that.

While on the topic of medicos...

There is this one up for sale at a prominent Parisian vintage dealer. Asking is 12.8k I think.


I don't have more photos, sadly.
The case is super sharp (maybe even too much?), but no ref nor serial visible on the back.

dial is original, but it's a frankenwatch, imho
Has the absence of an accent on the second E for Genève been established as "ok" for these models? It does look like an early (22431 prob) Medico dial...

Very cool indeed, hope it ends up in a car that suits it well.

Serial will be inside. Pic is not sharp but it may all be legit

I think the hands are original actually. A virtually identical watch in better conditions was sold last year for 130 USD out of France. 3K is just ridiculous though.
