Yet another Polerouter influenced design?

I wouldn’t say an homage, perhaps a reissue from their own catalog.

No link to Polerouter, and indeed a modern re-edition of the original Longines Silver Arrow. You’ll find more nice ones posted on this forum a few years ago.

Well, same diameter? no
Same hands? no
Same lugs? no
Same proportions? no
Same two parts flat dial? also no

I don't see the homage here. It is a reissue of the Silver Arrow/Silvergines/Goldengines family of the 50s.

I changed my post a bit, points taken, but the visceral impression remains.

Yes, but they do both have round dials.

Disagree with the Polerouter comment but to each their own. Just my two cents, any way...
