First of all thanks to Lou for being a great educator on all things Universal (including this thread), also all the forum members who are always keen to help, there was recently an ad on timezone listing a 1st gen 2nd execution. The case, dial, crown seems to fit the description in this thread but there is also an engraving on the case back re-US military issue. I have posted some pics here. Should it be dismissed as totally a fake or could it be some owner decide to engrave these letters after market? too bad seller not providing inner case back nor movement shots. I have requested for those as well, will improve this post once i receive them.
also I just re read the post about aussie dials the "GENE VE" on this dial seems badly QCed but the case steel composure looks solid. The crown cut off, I still don't quite understand whether the pattern should cover the whole surface or should it cutoff <1mm before the edge. These polerouter subs really are quite hard to get right. If anyone has any thoughts on this sample, please share
