Saw this post on watchuseek for 3 weeks running... and still unsold.

Going for cheap too. 450 usd

Thoughts?

 

Do you like it?

 

It's definitely cheap, but that dial is not singing to me. Comes down to personal preference, I suppose. For another $500 you can probably find yourself a lovely watch.

 

Not an expert on these but I've been looking at them more and more lately. Even if you somehow get past the redial this one looks like it could be a project with the movement so add a service/ possible overhaul cost onto it.
If me - I'd keep looking.

Also if any polerouter connoisseurs are on please correct me. The logo/lettering looks off to me which is why I feel it's refinished.

 

I've been looking for a nice UG Polerouter.... hoping someone on this forums will sell it to me haha

Otherwise, i'll just keep looking. Yeah probably need to service it and that might go up even more cause of the lack of parts especially in Singapore.

 

Better ones out there.

 

The patina would be ok, attractive even maybe if it were even. But now its nor my cup of tea

A wise member here once told me to wait for the best example possible. This especially applies to polerouters, which aren't particularily uncommon-wait a few months and you'll get a much better example

 

You'll like it for a few weeks and end up selling it soon after.

 

I remember this very same watch being up for sale over in the MWR forum a while back, no idea if it's the same seller but if you're able to search there you may be able to find it.

The dial would be too unpleasant for me personally but each to their own. Good luck.

 

Thanks mate. I can afford to wait for a good one. Thanks to you guys and your advice =)

 

$450 is not cheap for what you've got there.

 

I once faced a similar situation (excited by a potential first Polerouter, but in poor condition and overpriced); feels like a very long time ago, but it wasn't, really. The wonderful folks on this forum gave me very similar advice: they were right - a better example appeared at a better price. I'm very glad I took the good advice, my excitement for the dud notwithstanding. Thank you, OF!

 

Agreed!

I just bought a Omega constellation and its on its way! I can't wait to share it with the folks here

 

Congrats! Patience is very much a virtue in this hobby!
