Show Us Your PolArouters

hejsam · Jul 27, 2023

Roughly a year after I bought this Polarouter I finally got it back from a service that it desperately needed, it took a while to find some pretty vital missing movement parts and convincing my watchmaker to put it all together.

So thought I would share some pictures and also open up a thread to show your Polarouters!
I did not find any PolArouter specific thread other than specific SAS dials and auction prices.

This is a 20217-4 from 1954 all original as far as I know except the crown which is unsigned

These are not easy to find in good condition. I'm not surprised.

Cool, is there a faded text on top of "automatic" or just some reflections?

Well-spotted, it's a retailer signature. Freccero.

Lovely. Do you mind sharing who did the work on this watch? That could be helpful for anyone who needs to have a Polarouter serviced.

It was serviced by a Swedish watchmaker located in Stockholm. Its a pretty basic movement so service should not be an issue but some parts can be a bit tricky to find, the one mine was needing for example.
