Stunning, congratulations! Those should be staples in your weekly rotation.
And I’m not normally a fan of gold but I would wear the crap out of the Polerouter.
Finally the watches reach home, I was so nervous as was first time buying not having the watches in hand. Still no time to take them to the watchmaker but I’m sharing some pics for you.
The UG has a gold hallmark on the outside of the lug (or at least is what it looks like ) not easy to capture the image with my phone , it’s weird as I think it’s gold capped and in case would be solid gold for sure the hallmark wouldn’t be on the visible side.Thanks for your advice and comments.
I never heard about it, it’s unbelievable that they would add a tax hallmark , wow

As the case back is SS I assume that the case is gold capped, correct? Thanks
Yes, it means that the watch has paid the import duties. On non gold watches the hallmark was added from 32 untill mid 80's (a law aproved in 79 mentions that hallmark on non gold or silver watches is mandatory until custom services found it useful. It was abandoned when Portugal joined the EU)
The watch is gold capped and the hallmark must be one of the indicated below depending in what city was added:
