Hi Federico

I am trying to solve a Universal Geneve mystery. I have a Compur circa 1935-1940? (caliber 281(?)) but something about it is weird. After scouring the Internet I cannot find one where, on the dial face it says Compur above and Universal below, they all show the opposite. This is the only Compur I've been able to locate with this dial. Have you seen this before? Any idea on value? It's in great condition for its age. Thank you.

Curious if anyone tunes in to the Vookum Ebay Live events? He holds them a couple of times a week and it's pretty remarkable how often watches sell well below their "expectations". Heavy heavy heavy Rolex emphasis. Some tremendous deals to be had for sure.

No skin in the game here, nor have I ever purchased from him.

He goes live at 7pm EST tonight if anyone feels like checking in. I actually enjoy watching the relentless self-promotion of the 47th St crew but realize I'm likely in the minority!

Does anyone else see this? When I click the forum button on the top ribbon there is no issue, but when I click a specific subject section on the left the lower ribbon rises with the scroll and blocks the page. I also realize until there is a response to a thread, that a new thread will not show in general forum view (accessed via the top "forum" click. This is on my Windows PC running Chrome Version 144.0.7559.110.

I really like them but I really don't want to pay that much for a niche indy running an ETA base with some magnets floating around. I think 20 years down the road and it give me the willies.

But I really like them.

What say you?
