Hi

I am mainly an Omega collector but i start to be interested also in Universal watches. I recently bought this Polerouter but my knowledge is not great regarding those watches and i am thinking to sell it to find a better condition watch. So please be as critical you want and i will appreciate a fair evaluation..

Thank you and here are the pictures

Looks great to me.

Appears to be all original apart from the crown. Interesting case back engraving.

569101 references not yet reflected in the Polerouter reference gallery but that will only be because not enough examples have been submitted (they are in the reference table). The reference fits an established pattern (5 being gold plated, 69 denoting Cal 69 and 101 being the Geneve case shape).

There's another here with the same reference and very similar serial https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/35049...uter-automatic-cal-69-569101-10-men-1960-1969

Unfortunately the smaller case size, the case design (no twisted lugs, ring etc) and the fact that it's gold plated makes it less desirable than many other Polerouter models.

Thank you very much for the link with the similar watch..i notice that the "experts" on catawiki evaluate to 750-850 Euro so assuming that mine is in worse condition i will evaluate it to 600 Euro..I think i will stay with that price..😀
