Since we are talking Polerouters. Here are mine. Question... I just landed the Choc and it works better on my wrist. I'm Thinking about sellling the white dial. I think the red second hand is cool. Should I change the hand if I decide to sell or leave it? Crown is signed and I'm told it's a replacement. Anyhow what do you folks think? I already have one vote to change it.

If i'm not mistaken, @aap might have one or more of these - he might have some insight for you. Check out the "Polerouter Knock-off" thread for further inspiration with similar vibe.
Gratuitous somewhat-related pics below (from Internet, happened to have them on hand): View attachment 371468 ATTACH]371464[/ATTACH] .

What are the price range of these and do they top out at 34mm? Been shying away due to lack of knowledge, but love the design. I've instead started picking up Alpinist Champions and Sportsmans which rock a similar vibe.

@Severin : I only have one. In fact, the watch in this pic might be mine as I got it from this seller for around US$ 300.

Yeah, just what the world needed, more Polerouter fans, as if they weren't pricey enough. Leave them alone, I’m warning you, these are ugly, overpriced and overrated little mother******s.

They also lower one's intelligence and affect sexual performance. I say stay away.

That and worse, the side effects can be so bad that, as in my case, the desire of putting a Speedmaster on wrist is lost. I'm even thinking, forgive me God, in selling it.

Think well, my friends, is that what you all want?

I like the look of the red hand but if you wanna sell, will be easier to sell and with a better price if you change it.

I keep telling new watch enthusiasts/collectors that the Polerouter and pie pan Constellation are two of the best sub $2K watches on the vintage market. Great collection, btw.

Totally agree, I love them both 👍

I love the one in the middle with black dial. You have a great collection. How long did it take you collect all of these? I am sure you bought some other but sold them when you got a better one, am I wrong?

Did they make them in solid gold? Also what were the types of original bands they came with? Do they have any signed buckle for the leather bands? Thank you so much for sharing.

While I collect mostly chronographs, I sure do love them Polerouters! 3 of them so far.

@kentlinardi
Pretty sure I got the first dibs on the 1st and 3rd one 😜
You should focus your collection on Chronogrsph watches and send the Polerouters to me🙄

From my part, as I am a good soul, I’m doing the best I can to free the world from this plague:

I love a watch with a great backstory and the Polarouter/Polerouter sure has one
