Does anyone know with any degree of certainty if a Polerouter date was ever produced with a circular magnifier on the crystal (despite a trapezoidal window below it). I've seen several examples floating around recently, and a quick look on polerouter.de shows at least 2 examples here: http://www.polerouter.de/images/collection/polerouter42-big.jpg http://www.polerouter.de/images/collection/polerouter20-big.jpg What do you think? Replacement crystal or original? Thoughts appreciated. -eustace
Original Universal crystals were signed with the "U" in the center, just like Omegas. That's the only way I know to tell original from replacement. gatorcpa
This is the best evidence I've found so far -- a terrible scan but it does look like circular date magnifier. Does anyone have a better scan of this? http://www.polerouter.de/images/advertisement/advertisement6-big.jpg
