Yes I remember reading that thread last year and know that you have some experience with these pushers! Have a look on the ad below, that is the exact same case reference as my aero-compax photo above, I'm definitely no expert in these pushers and I'm still learning to identify them.

But I don't think the ad shows those large mushroom pushers like the photo from the catalogue above? The watch is dated back to 1943. Appreciate your input!

 

Yes, that does look like the same reference. Perhaps we need a better image of pushers so that we can discern profile. It is a very nice aero and very desirable. but then again, I am a fan of aeros for obvious reasons and would love to replace that thing on top of my panel with a UG !

 

i think Hodinkee flagged this as questionable

 

Took some quick shots, pardon the lighting. Hope it helps!

 

I guess I was too quick on the trigger . They look like 6 or 7 so I guess it is correct. Always learning. A real beauty, nice catch !

 

This one was a comet on ebay, same dial is described as refinished by Sala, what do you think ? Refinished one or not ?

FYI, this Polerouter Date sure sold quickly - I didn't even see it pop up for sale before I discovered it was sold. (can't seem to copy the picture for posterity)

I'm not at all versed in the world of bracelets, but imagine the bracelet would have contributed substantially to the asking/sale price.

 

Which would mean that the bracelet was worth more than half?

 

With bracelet, wouldn't a similar watch go for less than $1400 on ebay?

 

Uni-Compax for sale for a great price on timezone from a seller I've dealt with before. He's a pleasure to do business with.

I was hoping I could pick it up but I'll be out of the country for a while and there's not way to ship it to me, so... it's up for grabs if anyone wants it.

I think the second hand is not correct but the rest looks good to me.

 

Wow, this is nice! I myself didn't see it.

 

Just went for it along with a 14k Polerouter he had up for sale.

 

Well I'm glad I didn't see the 14k polerouter. Don't forget the 30% commission fee!

 

There's also an 18k Uni-Compax (mini 32mm) for those with small wrists.

Never even made the store. Had that stayed up, I would have for sure needed to have my credit cards taken away from me. Stunning.

 

Makes me feel all the more lucky to have scored mine for less than 25percent of that price. Admittedly, it's a 218-2 not a 69 and the hands may have been replaced, but still not too shabby as far as I am concerned. It's still with the watch maker (it's been taking far too long in my view) so I only have these lousy pics for now, which I share in hopes of spurring the watch-maker-clogged-up-with-business gods to return it to me soon.

 

Oh, the horror of it! Franklin Mint content:

What's wrong with it?

 

I'm calling a big dibs on both of those!

 

Should arrive Friday. I'll post some pics then!
