    Getting this off my chest, feels like the strange relative that's been locked up in the attic: my first ever non-quartz watch and second watch I've ever owned, purchase one year ago, has been my daily wearer until I discovered the Polerouter: a bonafide Franken redial. Redial for obvious reasons, Franken because caseback and movement do not match and date wheel is new. On the bright side, has a signed crystal and crown and is a top notch time keeper. Sharing with you for fun. Do I regret it? No. Would I prefer the real deal? Definitely. Am I losing sleep over it? Not at all - i've enjoyed it immensely to date.

    I"ve assembled some of the seller's pics in the picture below for your reference.

    Apparently, even his was a redial!

    'T'is the plan indeed! ...in time.

    P.s. Since when did you all become so sanguine? I'm shocked by the level of peace, love and understanding around here - must be the holiday season (who knows when Santa/the UPS controllers are watcching) - it's either that or the good will spread by the photo contest
