Je crois que non.

Why did the seller put that red center hand on? The original black one is much nicer methinks.

The subdials and bezel are burgundy too though, are you sure its meant to be black?

I think its an all original version, we saw a blue bezel/subdial/chronosecond one on the same site only a couple weeks ago.

A couple of us were offering $1500 for that blue version. That one was mint with box & papers though. Will be interesting to see what this burgandy one goes for.

Mea culpa. I had the brightness on my display down, so red seems correct. I believe it is a fairly rare color for this watch.

Poor Compax looks like it stood on a land mine =(

Yes, indeed, but that's one of the oversized ones I believe. The only watch tragedy greater than a badly damaged rare watch is a badly damaged grail.

Slightly less battle scarred Tri-Compax but I still have no ability to spot original vs refinished dials on these

That's a good dial, but there is something seriously odd about those lume dots - I've not seen anything quite like that.

Could be a relume perhaps? What do you think on the pricing, 2.7K actually sounds on the more reasonable end of the scale for an original dial Tri-Compax

Agree but those lume dots are 'orrible - they look like some stick-on things

It's coming from Buenos Aires. Great city, but almost guaranteed to be redialed/franken.
