    Picked this up on a whim but I'm not sure if it's legitimate. It has a 218-2 movement but the dial is really strange. The outer chapter ring and the hands are rose gold and the dial is gold but has a ribbed, concentric ring pattern. The fonts look okay but I'm still confused. Anyone seen this dial variation in a Polerouter before? And I know, the crown is a disaster but the case is in decent shape. Sorry for the crappy pictures but this dial is impossible to photograph. Real or a creative reproduction?

    Yes, I posted about one naming it a vinyl dial. Not as nice as this one. I will try to find it.

    I remember seeing your post but I didn't pick up on the dial. The dial looks normal from a distance. And I'm going with your "vinyl dial" description from now on. It looks like a tiny LP. I wonder if I drop a small needle on the dial if it'll play music or have Genta describing his inspiration for the Polerouter design...

    Thanks.

    Don't have it with me now but here is another picture which shows the rose gold and gold contrast.

    I don't think that's a vinyl dial if you look closely.

    I agree with Selbo and hard to make it out, doesn't look like a vinyl dial. Looks more like the hands dug into the dial.
