Is it just me or do all of Auctionata's watches look like they were photographed in a police lineup?

 

Yes indeed.

I just spotted this Pole Router Sub at Auctionata. The crown and crystal are not original, otherwise it would be a nice watch to invest in.

Is that green bezel insert original too?

 

I think Auctionata problem with photos is not as big as how often dubious or even straightly fake watches appear at their auctions these days.

 

Any coments on the UG Compur?

 

Wouldn't touch it

 

Any particular reason ? just to learn , Im don´t know much about it.
thanks

 

I don't trust the auction company for one, they don't seem to do much originality checking IMHO.. The dial has water damage or something going on, and that alone puts me out of the game. The commission and fees on top of the price of the watch will get you, and this watch will go from cheap to insanely expensive. The pictures of the watch aren't close enough or detailed enough for me to make an informed decision past the fact that the dial is completely gone. Could be more wrong that I haven't taken the time to investigate as well.

 

Thank you for you response .

 

What an indecent price for such a contraption...

 

can i have some feedback on this 22259 ? Chrono hand looks wrong but apart from that, seems to be all there. Have i missed the obvious? As a propective buyer, what would be a reasonable price (middle of the road) ?

 

Thought this Universal Geneve could interest some here. The dial authenticity may need to be confirmed but I find the numerals very stylish.

From what we can see, everything looks allright, the dial still in fair shape, hour and minute hands are wrong aswell, my guess would be around 3.000 eur... ?

 

This looks a little strange to me, especially with the "swiss" not at 6pm but rather somewhat off to the side... amongst other issues.

Interesting and pretty good looking dial, shame that it's only 31mm. Looks similar to the military version with the pencil hands, any thoughts on the originality?

confirmed.

 

I'm starting to think the best indication of quality is a piece not being mentioned on here [emoji23]

Edit: just seen the watch, obviously in this case the rule doesn't apply!

 

good show

 

Hi
I'm glad and surprised to find such an knowledgeable UG site on Omegaforums. Can you give feedback if this is all original, reference #, and where I can get this TLC/fixed, preferable in Europe. Would you refinish the dial? Is the price I bought $540 good or too much? Just so I know for future references.
Thanks
