·This is sillly and pretty much why I'm standing down from UG for a while. This is a 4-6k watch max.
@Larry S maybe this is worth a gamble then with a day and a half left...though seller has not been around on eBay since last year, so tread carefully...

·Hands as I am discovering are rare and expensive. The hour hand and hour sub are the only correct hands here. I'm still unsure if this style chrono hand is correct or incorrect. I have a Tri with it, there are warches in Sala with it and have now a replacement from a forum member.
May those hour and minute hands be not correct, but very similar to correct one that we usually see on those watches ? (Feuille hands ?)

·Original dial and small second hand, the rest of the hands has been replaced. Here is my old watch to compare,

·Thank you for the knowledge @Dre @Larry S and @Florent, this looks to be one to avoid, considering the 0 feedback may be due to scamming:
On a lighter note, starting bid price seems ok for this gold capped Polerouter (I know the seller has listed it as 18k, though I have no idea how to determine that :/ )

For those wondering what happens to the eBay account after the seller has been reported and found by eBay to be fradulent. This is what happens.

·Looks very much like that, a redial as you say. Printing appears to be thick and lume plots aren't aligned.
And a welcome to the forums, fellow Australian 😀
As for hunting, this one is a redial and the U is crooked - a shame, given the tropical dial :/

Well, I might be able to live with it, if it goes cheap... which it won't.. And thanks, I've been on here a while, I just don't post much.

There is lots of discussion about these dials here
https://omegaforums.net/threads/pol...ter-sub-text-request-for-clarification.50244/
In fact, this appears to be the very watch that was sold by Menta Watches (2nd post in thread).

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.I think the watchword for Polerouter Subs is "Avoid". They all seem to be franken. This I have learned here on OF.

Agree- it's definitely one for the gamblers - hard to know whats absolutely original with them anymore - at least those 1st/2nd gen super compressors. here's an article detailing the pitfalls... http://wornandwound.com/curious-case-universal-geneve-polerouter-sub-super-compressor/
