Universal Genève Polerouter Sub First Generation

First generation first execution model with 42mm dual crown super compressor case.

Very clean case with no sign of it having been polished. 22mm lug width.

Case reference number (20369/1) and serial number (2'112'xxx) both present and clear on the case back.

Fantastically original example, even including the original signed crystal. I have been fortunate to handle a number of these and have never before seen a signed crystal.

Super clean Cal 215 movement in perfect working condition.

The hands have recently been relumed because the original lume was disintegrating.

Price: £8,500 GBP including insured shipping worldwide for OF members. Payment via bank transfer or PayPal for known members or members with acceptable references. Returns not accepted unless grossly misrepresented.

To my great surprise, this UG grail is still available.

My asking price is £7,500 include insured shipping however I'm very much open to offers.

With various other horological projects and targets, I would like to move this one on.

I am therefore asking only £6,000 including insured shipping.

Guaranteed genuine and all original.

Now sold.

Many thanks to the forum staff and to the buyer.
