FS: Universal Geneve Compax 1950 - mint & full set!

Hi guys!
In order to move something from my watch collection I'd like to sell a couple of watches. So today I'm glad to present you this stunning Universal Geneve chronograph, in absolutely mint condition. This model has a beautiful silver/white (depending on lighting) sunburst dial. Features beautiful deep black sub dials and has gorgeous gold indices and hands. Features gold pushers and Universal-signed crown. This specific reference 284.465 has the famous UG cal. 84 or Lemania 1873 (same as omega speedy movement) is housed in the original 1950's style compax case. Movement is perfectly running, and in amazing conditions.
Bachelite bezel shows absolutely no signs, everything is 100% original and mint, as you can see from pics.
This specific item was barely worn. The set is amazing, in fact this watch comes with the original Universal black strap and gold buckle, warranty cards and two original boxes (everything is Universal-signed!)

So, to summarize:

MODEL: Universal Geneve Compax 1950
REF: 284.465
MOVEMENT: UG 84 perfectly working.
CASE DIMENSION: 37mm.
CONDITION: 100% original in absolutely mint status, I'd say 9.95/10. Please check accurate pics of it.
STRAP(s): Original UG black strap with original UG gold buckle.
OTHER: full set: warranty card, two boxes.

Now, some pictures of this stunning watch:

(A lot of pictures, and please say HI! at my reflected face in the watch caseback! :D)

PRICE: It's not easy to price such a mint and full set watch. For it, I would like to ask 3100 EUR (net to me) + shipping. Item is located in EU (Italy).
Please contact me if you need more pictures (!!). Thank you guys, thank you CT.

Best,
M.
