Is this Polerouter Sub as good as I think - or??

Personally, I'm not seeing any obvious problems with the dial beyond some minor damage. The case has certainly been polished, but at least the lugs are still thick and the lug holes aren't badly cratered. The bezel is of course the elephant in the room.

Hello. To my not-so-trained eye on these models, all I can confidently say is that the case has been heavily polished and that the dial has been repainted. Regarding hands/crown/parts correctness, I'm sure other members can chime in.

Cheers.

How does the movement compare to the dial? They should always match in condition. Sometimes you see a fairly fresh dial, but the movement looks a bit rough with a worn rotor, suggesting a redial. I would closely inspect the font on your watch, as compare to examples being sold by reputable sellers.

I have never really studied the PR subs, so I am not very familiar, however I thought case ref #869120/2 was asymmetrical? So perhaps the caseback does not match the mid case?

Didn't you just buy this for around €2,700?

Surely that must give you some idea of how much the sales price should be? Perhaps you should have asked here prior to buying it...

I would move this thread to the UG subforum, you will probably get more info there.

The dial looks fine to me offhand. I would not venture definitive opinions about a redial without extensive research.

Not sure on hands either, some questions.

We need to get someone on the thread that really knows this series inside and out.....[/QUOT
in, and since I dont know much about this type of Poleruter, I hope to get some help from you guys.

Is the dial original?
Are the hands original?
Anything else you can say about the watch?
It comes with box and papers

What is the estimated sales price for this one?

I really hope to get some help on this one.

Thanks.

Good point especially regarding the dial. A few years ago I was selling a watch on a well known forum only to have an "expert" chime in with a definitive opinion regards the dial. Caused me a headache and spent considerable time gathering evidence to rebuke the "expert" opinion.. All worked out in the end though!

You are right - I should have asked before buying. My problem was that I just saw the watch 30 min. before the auction ended - and I really liked it. So yes - I took a change, and I lost. Now I´m trying to talk to the auction house - to see if I can cancel the deal.
