Polerouter Jet - Marble Dial?

Mazoue

Although the gold-plated case is in a good condition overall, there is a little tarnishing in places. Am I better leaving that or should it polish off relatively easily?

Doesn't that just show that one man's meat is another man's poison? I actually liked the dial and bought the watch for that reason. Although I see what you mean about the missing vertical crosshair.

As the 40355/3 reference suggests, this Polerouter Jet has a gold-plated case which would not normally be of interest but I thought the dial was quite striking - is that likely to be actual marble?

On the assumption that the scratches to the glass are too deep and too numerous to polish out, should it be relatively easy to find a replacement?

I see that the auction has ended - I'm guessing you ended up with it?

The case looks pretty good, as does the caseback. The dial really lets down the watch, especially the "lost" crosshairs. But I'm looking forward to seeing the watch in a more cleaned-up state 😀

To me, it looks as if the horizontal crosshair is fine but the vertical crosshair is missing.

I still think the marbling effect might be original rather than aged paint as it's incredibly "marble-like".

I don't have any better photos of the dial yet but attach a couple of extra photos of the case and caseback.
