New old Polerouter deluxe back and running ...

hello everyone ....

I bought a 138 ss movement and dial as a parts movement . I needed a parts movement cause I purchased a Polarouter off the sales forum. But the watch was packed too well . No room for the packing to take any shock absorbsion. In transit it was damaged the watch maker told me to find a parts movement. On top of that the dial was killer as well !

So I got the parts movement under close examination this was from a first generation Polerouter deluxe and after close examination the dial was used in -3 subversion as it does not have an applied UG logo on the dial below the 12 o'clock marker ....ref 10234-3....

I thought the dial was so cooll




So I would have to assume the case and sweep seconds hand has gone the way of the dodo as well...

I then came across this watch......




A nice early Polerouter deluxe , w a bumper 138 SS movement... The dial is a redial, give away is " Automatic Microtor" But it has its Sweep second hand.... and I did not pay attention to the subversion , but it turned out to be a -3 .... !!!

so after a little watchmaker magic....





Good Hunting

ps @Dre , remember we talked about how I wanted to case this dial.....

hahahaha

On the De Luxe models, the dial markers, hands and internal bezels are 18K gold. I believe that the gold dials are also 18K, although I’m not sure about the painted dials.

Bill - did you see a hallmark on the dial when you recased the watch?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Hi @Jonatan

I agree . It's one of the times the sum of the parts is greater then the parts alone !

Best

Not all of them ..... I have one with a chronometre marked movement and others that do not....

your mileage may very..
