    Hi guys,
    I have a chance to buy this Chocolate Polerouter but I only have a few not so good pictures and no picture of the case back . The 215 movement probably need service and the watch has a replacement crown. After I carefully look at the pictures I think the watch look ok. So any thought ? :D
    cheers

    LOTS of corrosion/pitting on the case, I doubt you could get a good seal at this point, clear signs of moisture intrusion on the rotor.

    That rotor looks as if a small rodent vomited on it... :D

    Are you certain that there are no loss of the capping on the lugs? There seems to be some rather hefty pitting at the top of the case at the back, doubt it'll seal very well.

    Walk away...I'm discovering just how hard these are to service. Replaced crystal as well.

    That's true, and parts are getting harder to find.
