Thanks, A! Can't believe this is just my second UG chrono

 

Looks great! I just got a similar compax off Dre, he seems to be a real UG enabler around here! [emoji106]and that's a compliment, we need more of them...

 

I always thought calatrva comparison was used to describe a case without sodered lugs, one piece, like Patek cases ?

 

I had three like this , one with an automatic black dial , one manual wind black dial, and a manual one with a white dial. Sad to say, not sure what I did with them many years ago !

 

Yes, original dial !

Lovely dial

 

I don't usually UG, but when I do its....a 1952 square face 14k, 139 movement clean as a whistle, keeps 5secs/day.

 

The hunt is over... I always wanted a stainless steel, no date Polerouter with microtor and black dial. The watches I have seen were either very expensive, rotten, redialed, or the movement was rubbish. But unexpectedly, I managed to pull the trigger.
After a long time of searching, I can now present my new old Polerouter Microtor (34mm):

Although hardly visible, the crystal is original and has the UG logo.

Hands, lume and dial seem to be original. Case is somewhat scratched. The crown is UG, but I was told not the correct one (anybody who can help?).

Any comments (pros and cons) appreciated.

 

Nice catch. Is it a 218 movement? I ask because each time I've seen that particular broken crosshair configuration (I.e. broken between the word "Universal" and the shield), it has been on a 218 (including on one of my own). Could be a
coincidence. Anyhow, congrats. I also am especially fond of the non-dates.

 

Thanks! Yes, it is a 218 movement.

 

Ah so you're the one who ended up buying this! It's quite a nice one, talked to the seller and he sent me a decent offer on the price. Was going to purchase it but I don't think I need another Polerouter in my life right now

Dat original glass tho Congrats M!

 

Thanks.
Yep, now you know one reason, why I couldn't afford your chrono.

 

One watch is nice, two are already a small collection...
So that is my personal Universal Geneve "two pieces collection"
Tri-compax from 1945, Polarouter from around 1955

 

Nice watches.

Here we go, finally got my hands on one. This 12296 from 1951 came with archive extracts.

 

Here is a nice Tricompax !
