·As suggested by some of you, here's an effort to revive this thread since the other eBay thread has become for inquiries.
Here's a Polerouter De Luxe

·A nice Polerouter date with black dial that is not 1900$
A little rotor rash but it should be fine.

·This one is in need of a good cleaning and like the Hodinkee one the crown is not original. It's the first generation Patent Pending 215 rotor.

This one has been for sale for over a month on another website. Yes, it's gold plated but it looks to be in good condition and all original. UG buckle included. Make a crazy offer and see if it sticks. I would bet that the guy will let it go for 500$.

This one is interesting. The dial is very nice, and although I'm not sure about the hands, some Polerouter did come with dauphine hands with lume on it. Although I can't see why this one would since it doesn't have any lume dots on the dial. Unfortunately, with UG you never know. The watch contains the earliest version of the 215 caliber, as can be seen by the "Patent Rights Pending" indication on under the rotor. This makes it just a little bit rarer. It might have had the logo polished off the back, but I think that this one didn't have it considering the early version of the 215. The gold plated versions are not for everybody, but I have no problem with it and it usually means fewer people are interested. I would be bidding on it if I wasn't unemployed starting tomorrow (thesis contract ends but the defence isn't planned until September). It's all about choices.

·EDIT: CORRESPONDANCE FROM OTHER FORUM MEMBERS HAVE IDENTIFIED IMPORTANT ISSUES WITH THIS WATCH RENDERING IT NO LONGER SUITABLE FOR RECOMMENDATION. SORRY! SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION
I have some reservations about this since I don't have enough knowledge to be 100% sure that it's good. Obviously, the crown has been replaced. What is keeping me back is the missing lume on the inner bezel. Yes, it's been polished but still find it appealing.
EDIT: the second hand has also been replaced
It started out at 1500 Euros, but the seller said he would accept 1200 euros. Now he has lowered it to a direct by at 1100 Euros.

This has been around forever, saw it when the seller first listed it a while back. It's a put together watch, the broad arrow hands not matching the outter ring is the biggest give away from miles away.

·I wasn't sure about that. So the broad arrow Polerouters all had inner bezel lume?

Yes, radium hands and radium lume on ring.
Some of those watches has wrong replacement parts.

·It still doesn't make much sense to me.
If you have access to such rare broad arrow hands, why not wait for a better case with proper crown and a proper seconds hand. That's what I would do! Bumper Polerouters are not hard to find and the same goes for the crown and seconds hand. I mean if you're going to sell a franken watch might as well have it look good.
