Here's a great posting from Ben Clymer, editor of Hodinkee, in which he explains why he purchased a UG Tri-Compax, previously owned by Pete Fullerton, at yesterday's Sotheby's auction -- http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2012/6/15/letters-from-the-editor-why-i-bought-pete-fullertons-univers.html

In view of our readers' recent interest in the Tri-Compax line of chronos, I thought that our readers might enjoy this posting.

This may be a great topic for a future scan day -- "Why I bought a particular watch that is special to me."
