I thought so too.. What do you think a good price on this would be? The one thing I was hesitant on is the crown.. replacement or no? Most references I've checked seem to have a lower-profile crown on them. And pending more pictures, I'll be able to check out the movement and caseback to get ref #'s on that to make sure all checks out.

 

To put things in perspective, Fabrizio Caso, whose watches usually have a 50% or 70% premium, was asking around 3200 eur for one of these. This one is in better condition, but...

Looks ok to me. At the very least, period correct

Yes, a given, but looking at the condition of the watch, I'm willing to bet eveything will check out.

 

35mm

 

Any views on this - I find myself drawn to it and I'm not sure that's a good thing. I think I've seen Henrique Pfeffer UGs before but I'm obviously nervous about the whole Tiffany/Cartier/Cuervo y Sobrinos thing.

I've asked the seller a few questions and for some higher resolution pictures. I was in Caracas on business last year and I'm conscious that this experience probably adds to the draw.

 

I like it as well and agree with Lou, unlikely Pfeffer pfake.
I'm guessing only 33-34mm or so, not a deal breaker perhaps, but something to consider...

 

Size would only worry me if it went below 32mm or so - even then it wouldn't be my smallest. 34-35 would be the sweet spot.

 

Love to see pics

Aerocompax, Dial looks like it aged very evenly and gorgeously (sorry for my uncreative choice of word, or is it a redial?), I still struggle with this one actually.... Looks very similar to the one I posted earlier on this thread as well, in fact I think they look the same....

 

The description says "restored dial in amazing shape"... so struggle no more.

 

Thanks, I am really bad at reading the fine print, quasi ADT....

 

Yep, struggle no more! The giveaway for me, and maybe there's an easier way to tell, is the 2nd timezone subdial numbers are just wayy too dark and "blotty" looking compared to everything else. Thinking that one was certainly re-done which brings question to the rest of the dial, which likely has other parts re-done. Take a look at this pic.

 

As redials go, quite good I think.

 

Which one of you just snagged this while I was looking it over?

The bracelet is made by JB Champion rather than GF. These were made in the USA and are entirely correct for these references.

 

All original, and those micro-subdial Medicos are a rare variant, especially with the luminous hands and in a SS case. For a standard Uni-Compax, I'd agree that 4k is excessive. For this one... well, maybe not so far off base with a little negotiating.

 

Yes, a quite nice redial. Crowns have been replaced.

 

The dial seems redone to me: the minutes numbers are not in front of the indicators.
I have serious doubts but just wanted to get the OF double check.

Confirmed?

 

That dial appears to be 100% original.

I've noted your arrows and concern, but don't really understand what you're suggesting it ought to look like.
