    Guess every engraver has to start somewhere!

    It would be done hastily sometimes to meet import requirements on watches not intended for import. I have seen these crude style engravings on many watches.

    Been eyeing on that one before those 2 guys snapped it off ebay, but I found this beaut instead! Love those kind of cases, mine has the original flat edged pushers too!

    UG or GP 22209 is a lovely piece. Compact and functional.

    I couldn't live with the bezel in that condition. What options would you have? I'm assuming replacements are extremely difficult to locate.

    I've been looking at this one trying to figure out what is wrong with it for over 20 minutes. The dial looks original, but it's as if the inner bezel is too small yet it fits the date window. At the same time, it doesn't make sense to have the applied batons with the inner bezel.

    What am I missing?

    Really? I thought these dials would correspond to later 1960s models.

    Saw that last night and I passed on it, it's plated and the case back seems wrong as well. The other plated tri-compax that sold for 2,6k USD a couple weeks ago in ebay looks so much better than this.
