Went down a sort of interwebs rabbit hole today and came across the following, seemingly nicely patina'd, UG Polerouter Jet. I'm not even sure I'm interested yet, but was curious what the UG collectors might think of it as it is - too polished to be worthwhile? My eyes have me leaning towards yes, too polished, but I openly admit I am not a UG collector - so far
Overall looks like an honest watch. Not the popular (and wanted) genta design though. If not too expensive, feel free to buy it to start the collection. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step they say. Non genta design UG polerouter is currently offer at $530 near where I lived. I almost bought it to get the crown canibalized . It has an original crystal, but too bad is damaged. I'm pretty sure the price can be negotiated as well.
TBH, while I like the GG designs, and I am most definitely respectful of how forward-minded they were for the era, that's not a make or break for me personally. So I guess I or at least my wallet is lucky in that regard - but a solid Polerouter has been on the 'eventually' list for a while, and I just seem to be encountering them a lot lately, not just for sale but in articles and threads and so on.
