Hi there, You've got the same and even better (compax) ! for half the price on auctionata shop (2.130 eur.) ! https://auctionata.com/o/98384/universal-compax-chronograph-switzerland-around-1950?search=universal&cat=shop /clocks-and-watches On second toughts, maybe the auctionata is a redial... Better think twice....
About 15 years ago I saw a Tri-Compax and I tought that it was one of the best looking and technical watch I've ever seen, for such a low price ! So I dedicated myself in getting as many as I could before they become untouchable... And the fact that they were made in the 40' era turns me on, what a history !
What is this? A. Cairelli parts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIOLOGIO-D...786533?hash=item2caaf5a5e5:g:XjkAAOSwJQdXDAsZPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I was thinking about the bomb timer and i was thinking if that bunch of parts can be useful for something...
Hi all, Any thoughts on this originality/authentic? To my limited knowledge I think it's a redial at subdial at 9. The date 31 is red in most others. The logo under 12 is smaller/shorter than others I've seen & without é. The movement doesn't have movement number or logo inscription & looks too new? Is it a fair price?
I'm going with "pretty good re-dial." I don't like the script, and I don't like the radial orientation of numbers in the seconds sub-dial, among other things. If I'm right and it's a re-dial, I would say someone paid a little too much. And the days and months are, of course, speaking different languages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I note that one of the plates is marked Leonidas (who also made these). It suggests to me that it's a box of bits and the list of people that it would be useful to is a very short one.
I saw two pristine gold tri-compax in a Paris shop and fell in love. Coolest things I'd ever seen. Could not get the owner to part with them as he thought the US not a good place to get them serviced. I know how you feel. I now own one and a UNI.
Sharing this for your interest, something a little different. Not sure what's inside. http://www.poshvintagewatches.com/#!product-page/c826/e7d55b51-3b40-7cba-d7f3-2c3dc00b022a

It has a mirco rotor in it. Pretty good mark up. This exact watch sold on ebay a couple months ago for $600 or so if I remember correctly.
