Dipped my toe into the Polerouter waters

The immediate confession I have to make is that I know hardly anything about UG's, except for the snippets I pick up browsing this forum. Nevertheless this Polerouter looked so good that I ended up taking it home.

As I have no UG resources to use for research, does anyone want to help me understand exactly what I've got here ? It's a 36mm case & looks sharp. Any insights will be gratefully received 😀.

Wow! 🥰

You've got an eye, Sir.
That case is crispy. Caseback engravings are typically shallow on these models, but yours are all present (put a caseback sticker on it if it's going to get some serious wrist time).

Even comes with a signed buckle!? You hit a home run. Are you sure this wasn't NOS?
Take a loupe to the crystal. Like the floating Omega, you may find a UG shield.

The real polerouter experts will be along shortly.

And... DIBS!

SpikiSpikester, can we get a shot of the crown?
This is the best I can get without some daylight. Does it show what you need ?

Really love this one. Very glad you got it, it genuinely does look close to NOS. I'm sorry woodwkr, but I think I can claim precedence on the dibs!

Stu does gave to take credit for letting me know it was worth looking at. Again, the brochure pictures made it look incredibly average & not very interesting.

But is there a way to avoid a dibs war ? 😉

Well okaaaay, I'll get in line behind Stu. But just this once. From now on standard Dibs Rules apply 😉

Oh dear, that watch is horrible. Send it to me for disposal. 😁

BAH! I would be much better at "disposing" of this...and I believe I'm closer as well.😉

On behalf of President G4, Welcome to the Jet division of the Polerouter Club! Here he comes now:



And now it's time to learn the divisional anthem:

That is a seriously nice pick up. Is that the one that's been on eBay for ages?

Congratulations!

Thanks Gator 😀. No idea if it was on eBay, I picked it up at a physical auction.

No-one warned me about having to learn an anthem - luckily it's catchy so shouldn't take too long to memorise 😉

Yeah, the writer is kinda noted for writing catchy tunes. 😀

Here's the eBay one:

I've been watching that one for ages, just can't decide if I should take the plunge.
What's the BIN price like, crazy? high? about there?
