Aktually I am restoring an early Universal Tri-Compax that was indeed in a bad shape. The whole movement and the calendar and chronograph mechanism where very rusty. Nothing worked at all. The pushers of the chronograph and of the calendar functions did not work. The movement itself did not work.
Many detailed pictures of the restoration you will find here:

I just want to show that nearly every Tri-Compax can be saved if you have enough patience and passion for these fine calendar chronographs and collectors watches. I love them!

I hope you enjoy! 馃榾

Greetings from Germany, Cologne

Why you have to be in Cologne I do not know. There are needy Tri-Compaxes on the other side of the Atlantic.
