I just love the sub second 40-50's UG's. I have this 14K beauty with original UG 14K buckle. Needs a crystal or Plexi not too bothered though. Still trying to figure out what 33W42 is ...
Anyone have any Idea ?

Interesting, has my eye because of the price. Dial looks great (to me). Pushers (& crown?) are wrong, I think. Unless there was some variation I don't know about. Green dot at 12 on the bezel? Someone trying to get creative?
Besides the above, movement looks ok to me, case decent, and dial nice. Still debating the sub-dial hands. What say others?
Update: Seller posted side pic to disclose pushers/crown. Confirmed crown is indeed a replacement.
Update #2: Oddly enough, this Space compax looks like the one to the right of this picture (even though the source was said to be not reliable):

Dial and hands are both good. The case has been butchered/modified to fit standard pushers. The lume dot in the bezel has been re-done is modern green luminova. It should be a brownish orange.
Its missing the original crown. I thought about buying this watch before this seller acquired it. Its a lot of work for a project watch. If it was at the price tag it was offered to me which was considerably less, its still not worth a punt.
You would need to probably change the case and finding the crown is a task in itself. i know someone who's been looking for just a crown for this model for over a year.

I wonder what the experts think.

I wonder what the experts think.
Is there really an economic argument for college education?
Just wondering as I look at this with my teenage kids nearby.
Perhaps I can sell the apples from my three producing trees. Let's see, haven't been to the store in awhile, what are macrons and granny smiths going for these days?
What's the going rate of kids these days???
