Authenticity of a black dial seamaster deville

After @wilderbeast kindly introduced the Universal Genève Polerouter, I've been on a hunt. Any chance that this might be real? I've been reading up on these and apparently due to some US tax on imported watches, UG had the parts shipped over and then assembled in the US which lead to variations. I'm finding it difficult to discern, even when using the UG reference gallery. The lume plot under the 12 is throwing me off

I’m not an expert on these and indeed, only recently bought my first Polerouter (black dial but gold capped case - very dressy early transitional model).

You could post this in the Universal Genève forum for advice or, as I did when researching mine, use the very good Reference tables in this Polerouter site. It covers the main models and what genuine dials should look like, as well as some known redials for comparison.

Polerouters are no longer under the radar and command steep prices already, but the heritage and history of this watch has a nice parallel with the Omega Seamaster, plus they just look so damn cool.

Good luck!

EDIT: misread your post and I see you’ve already checked the tables I referenced above. I’d try the UG forum for advice!

I've sought some further advice from the UG forum experts - thanks a bunch for your help!

(and congrats on your first Polerouter! The two tone black/gold is very classy.)
