    Hi OF and UG enthusiasts,

    I come over a person's photo on Facebook and also a collector from Vietnam, please take a look and discuss about this never-before-seen UG Polerouter (at least for me and some other friends who have never seen it before). After asking, it runs on cal. 215.

    How legitimate it is? A prototype? Anyone see another example before?

    First of all, IMHO I think it is a nice watch, and it shares a design philosophy with more common Polerouter Sub, and wordings is sharp, execution on the watch is certainly UG-ish. The crown area looks a bit skeptical. Though, I have no idea if this is an original dial. For you guys - the experts - to discuss.

    I'm asking for more photos

    All the best,
    Kevin

    Franken redialled rubbish.

    The same Vietnamese seller has a whole collection of redials.

    Apologies for my rash response but this is someone that we know is creating redials.

    Here are a couple more pictures of the above watch.

    The first shows the watch before he decided to change the hands, presumably to make them more Sub-like. The second picture shows the case back - at first glance it appears like a Microtor case back in very good condition but look more closely at the spelling!

    I got it now!! Thanks @Mazoue !

    Was quite not understand you yesterday after your comment, so I kept quiet.

    The 2nd replies said it all! And I believe so too.

    Enjoy another photo of the case back “limited” sticker from the same source:

    Do you mean "UNIVESAL" or "POLERROUTER" or both? ;)

    Yep, that one. It must have felt alone in the Universe and wandered over to the Polerouter ;)

    Looks like an environmental disaster on that dial.

    Those are all redials!?
    How can you tell? They look fine to me, with serifs and whatnot.

    They are all from the same source as OP watches, which clearly states redial and wrong typo on caseback. So it would bring questions those watches I posted as well. For example look at the 6 on the Breitling...

    Agree! They look fine. I just find that the suveran hands were relumed and the breitling 789 hands are not the exact ones

    If those are all redials I’d like the guy’s contact info so I can send him one of my project watches.
    To my admittedly uninformed eye they look great, and that fake Polerouter indeed has a very cool design.
    The price of course is the catch...
