Gav, Is your Deluxe at 215 movement? That price with zero feedback, something definitely seems awry but I suppose I might be jumping to conclusions. If interested, I hope the potential buyer would know to reach out to Adam Hambly or to the Polerouter website you mentioned. But, I suspect the price is designed to keep buyers like us away. I did take a look at the website and happened to notice yours. I thought "Wow, doesn't that look familiar" and indeed was dead on. Yours is a beauty and kudos to you for helping that group. Have you signed up for the new book one member is compiling? You can do so through the PR App they developed. I know it's terribly off-topic for a public forum (I should probably PM you), but I've been on the hunt for a particular Polerouter NS (cross hair with raised indices) would you happen to have any leads? I know it'll come to me when it comes to me but I thought I might as well ask.

Hi,

yes 215 movement see shots below (not great photos but what I had on my ipad)



I have signed up for the new book. I bought a watch from the author (@Mazoue) last christmas for the wife (photo below) and we met up and discussed watches. He is extremely knowledgeable, generous with helping others and also sells watches as a sideline. He would definitely be the first person I would approach if I were looking for a particular Pole(a)router.

 

Forgot to mention I took a punt when buying mine. It also came out of South America (Caracas) from a seller with little feedback. I paid via PayPal so had some cover.
Took an age to arrive and I was convinced I had been scammed until the day it arrived. Was delighted when I finally had it in hand so sometimes it's "who dares, wins"

 

Hmmmm, I wonder who that came from...

 

didn't read description. obv not worth it because of it

 

Wow, your wife is a lucky woman. That's a beauty. I suppose like all of our spouses she puts up with our obsessive appetites for collecting so it's a just reward. And by collecting I mean not the objects but rather the history, the connection, and the camaraderie we crave and share in our special community.

 

i don't think this watch is big lug to lug.

 

Spotted this one and despite being plated I love the condition of the dial! And I think the price is quite fair.

Like that a lot. I am happy to try traditional classic smaller watches but 32mm is too small for my 8" wrist. Think someone should get this though

 

Nice find. Usually for this price, it would be in pretty beat up condition. There are a couple others on Ebay going for over $2K in this condition. If I didn't just acquire the Big Yellow this year, I'd be considering this one.

 

You’re right- and the asymmetrical case adds to the case measurements but not the actually proportions- so probably wears like a 39/40.

 

I think these watches are really nice in general and a good modern size. A good price as well compared to recent prices.
Just be aware the rotating bezel version, which this is, make the dial seem much smaller.

 

OF bargain alert:
Stainless Tissot Visodate with waffle dial, brought to us by @KingCrouchy

Oooooooo-Aaahhhhh

I would be all over this if I didn’t own an Omega white waffle of the same period. And I even like the strap!

Seller has quite a few other pieces on auction that look to be very nice. I'll be watching a few!

Thanks @Bill Sohne !!

C-cased Connie for 1/4 the price

 

Wow!!! That is a crazy beautiful collection of superior watches. Thanks for following the other items link. I'm tapped out at the moment, having gone on an alarm watch spending spree this Fall which is actually a good thing because there's going to be some crazy bidding tomorrow night. The Polarouter, LeCoultre, and that Omega hobnail are going to be interesting. If anyone from here scores please let us applaud! Oh... and how about next Sunday, round 2. Seller has a good eye and gets good reviews.
