Hi guys,

Evie here. I am not a seasoned collector. Please go easy on me.

I am consulting my copy of Sala. All the same, it would be great to hear your thoughts. Seller claims all original. Would you agree?

Cheers!

This has been on the rounds before on Ebay. Personally, I believe that the hands and dial were taken from a different model Tricompax. I don't think they were ever issued for these twisted lug and classical, smaller non-tachymeter cases.

I could be wrong, though.

It's also possible that the original bezel with tachymeter insert was replaced with this non-tachymeter version, if that's even technically possible.

I believe it's the same case.

I'd like to know the reference for this one. The non-bezel version comes in two flavors of silver dial: a tachy and non-tachy version. I don't have a problem with the hands, but I am suspicious about a dial transplant.

I conquer that it is a franken, the bezel I think is incorrect !

Is there a reference number on the caseback? You'll need a loupe and some good lighting.
