I like this watch very much, and the price seems fair to me.
I am in Toronto. What is your preferred method of payment?
: Hey Guys,
: Going through a bit of a purge and thought someone here might like
: this beautiful mid 50s Universal Geneve Medico-Compax. The
: Medico-Compax is rare as is, but what makes this one so
: interesting is the fact that it is seemingly untouched, with a
: spanish-language dial, and an unbelievable oversized pink gold
: case with faceted lugs. Hands, dial, pushers, etc all original,
: and dial is really clean and lovely. Don't think i've ever seen
: another Spanish language Medico-Compax, nor one with the later
: applied shield at 12. Have a look:
:
:
: Still, the most special part of this watch are the faceted,
: multi-tiered lugs. I've just never seen anything like em, and
: they are so delicate they'd be long gone if this watch hit a
: polish wheel just once. Some closer looks:

:
: Watch is running perfectly right now, but haven't owned it long
: enough to have it serviced. Movement looks nice and clean
: though. Do have original UG Medico Compax ad that will accompany
: the watch - it displays a watch with a very similar dial, though
: in English, with non-faceted lug case. Of course, this watch is
: solid gold, not plated. Case size is probably 37.5mm - wears
: really well.
: Looking $3800 or best reasonable offer. Think it's a lot of watch
: for the money, and will put most modern day chronos to shame.
: Happy to send more photos if interested, just using what I have
: with me at the moment. Will come with shell cordovan strap and
: gold plated buckle. You can see on my wrist here:
