Looks like French 18K hallmarks (eagle's head) on case back. Serial number in the range for a bumper Polerouter. Nice patina. Crown is a replacement. I would need to do more research, but this one looks promising. gatorcpa
Good condition but price is kinda ambitious. https://www.ebay.com/i/132334219294Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
- Hour and minutes hands are wrong - Subdials hands are wrong - The caseback is from a Compur - The dial looks perfectly new, I suggest a redial - I have also strong doubt about the case/puschers ...
Hi, I recently found this watch at a local shop. What do you think about it? How much could this worth? It has a stardust dial, don't know yet if it's too much for me or not.
Oh, wow, thats a pretty nice example. That dial was originally solid black and gave up a lot of her pigment due to UV light and humidity. Some collectors call it "tropical" and for some watches it increases value. Not really the case for a Polerouter but I still think it's cool AF. The case looks pretty good. Here's the rub: you can buy a an 18k Bombe lugs solid 18k Polerouter for like 2g's. This keeps the price of the SS watches down. I haven't seen too many sell for more than $1000 in SS and $750 is a more realistic number for a good condition watch. How much is seller asking and is he offering a warranty (warranties from brick and mortar stores are valuable).
Yes, I agree, it might be blight on the dial, but it kinda gives the watch a particular/special look. The seller asks for ~950 dollars, I think I can get it around 750-800 $ with 1 year service warranty.
lol I wouldn't call it "blight" (maybe just say it to neg the seller!). If I were looking for a Polerouter, I would pay $750 all day long for that example. The service warranty makes it a great deal and almost a no brainer. The case and lugs on this watch look good - one issue w/ bombe lugs is watchmakers with a heavy polishing hand - when done incorrectly they look like shit (these look good). Keep us posted
Still trying to build a solid knowledge base before going into UG chronograph territory... How does this one look? I am not looking to buy it as funds are depleted, but the price seems... okay, I guess? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-G...501094?hash=item1a36cc3066:g:dkkAAOSwjAlZ0EXcPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I made an offer of $3500 on that watch before someone warned me off. Thank god the seller declined my offer and countered with $3550. Lol otherwise I would have had to back myself out of the deal. I like the dial tho!
