    Actually taking back my comment about condition. Back of the top right lug seems pretty bruised. The dial is still quite pretty.

    The black dial could be nice, or possibly painted over. It looks like the logo and day window were painted black. My Ebay rule is to ignore ads like these with only out of focus pictures unless it's something I'm willing to eat the loss on. I found another example for comparison with some dimensions as well. The one you posted should be 34mm case and 36mm lug to lug if anyone is looking.
    Maybe gold is more your style.

    Actually, I think that patina is the selling point at least for me. It's solid but in terms of Polerouter, nothing extraordinary just a 20360-1 with a nice clean cal. 215 (and note it is clean). If it weren't for white dandruff I['d consider making an offer because I am nothing if not a sucker for that spider crazing. I've seen it in a few Polerouters and it is very handsome IRL. I might ask the seller if they'd take 1175-1200 Euro. bur I have my Polerouters (2) and that it for now. I wonder if Adam Hambly will chime in. Cheers!

    That gave me a chuckle. But yes, it seems almost moldy, as does the reflecting ring surrounding the dial. There are black spots all over it.

    Cheers and happy hunting :D

    Just ordered one of these thought some here might have a use for one or more.
    NOS 17.33 mm width scissors expansion bands with curved ends. 5 7/8 length

    Looks similar to the Admiral that came on my Elgin.
    They must have scored a lot of these because they have sold quite a few already. less than $7 USD with free shipping. s-l1600 (37).jpg s-l1600 (38).jpg s-l1600 (39).jpg

    Cool Elgin from what looks like 50s. Some lume loss and some radium burn however. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224272590783Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
