    Nice watch but the watch is highly overprieced. I guess seller is hoping for... whatever::screwloose::;)

    Here we have a Polerouter from Alex.
    Movement looks nice such as the back case.
    What do you think of the dial and those long applied indexes ? Never saw that before.
    Strange mix-up with the chapter ring.

    Some lume plots seem be missing, apart from that, it's correct. Early 60's execution...

    Indeed - I've just sold one of those for significantly less than a tenth of what they're asking. I've just got the bracelet fitted to mine (hence having a spare watch) - they're a lovely thing..

    Anyone can tell if all the parts looks original or restored?

    nothing much of UG is on ebay recently.... I guess Patience is important when getting your dream UG.... a polerouter for me personally. A compax is out of the league for me as of now.

    Anyone noticed this one? Quite a bit missing and case looks too sharp compared to bezel wear

    It was a bargain. Seller cheated himself out of a good price by refusing to take PayPal from outside of France.

    Polerouter Sub. Lumes are gone. Bezel is wrong. Crystal is wrong.

    I don't know much about the reference but if those are the only issues I think the price is right?

    I kinda like it. Interested to hear what the more informed folks here have to say

    Polished to death, no screw down crown (ruined original crown tube?), not the best condition movement, no bracelet, no lume on dial, wrong bezel, wrong cristal...

    This Sub has died, RIP

    I thought this one was cool looking but the caseback says the watch is chrome plated but the seller says its steel. Either the caseback is wrong or the seller is mistaken, but it looks like SS. I'm just wondering that if what else has he lied about ? Or maybe I'm harsh and he doesn't know. Either way the trust isn't there

    damn that was a good deal! for some reason many ebay sellers from france and germany only take bank transfer, no paypal
