This is a good article detailing how to spot fakes on these 1st gen UG super compressors: http://wornandwound.com/curious-case-universal-geneve-polerouter-sub-super-compressor/

...or you could skip the middleman and go to the original discussion from which it is written on this very subforum: https://omegaforums.net/threads/early-polerouter-sub-discussion.3630/

This is the first time these were called out - @georgetownhoya gets the credit

Having been here since the beginning, I am amazed how much widely-cited UG knowledge started here.

What’s the general consensus on this one. Asked if he had pics of inside etc. reply was no I don’t thanks

82 watchers, lots of bids.....for a reason. Looks pretty nice but would be good to know case ref, cal, case size. I'm sure tons of people have written asking the same questions. Missing the chrono sweep, could be a real pain to source, too bad I just sold two of them.....

I didn’t notice the missing hand. I’d like to get one of these before they get completely out of reach

Hopefully people are paying attention to the missing chrono sweep, seller seems clueless. Chrono reset maybe an issue? With so many people watching will not fly under the radar.

Did he tell you the size? Looks like the small one.
He’s not a great communicator. One word answers

I changed my mind...this is worth a shot ...cant he give you a case back shot? Prob 35MM. Factor in about $800 for a chrono hand and service. Its nice though.

fyi: it is 34mm, no numbers on the caseback outside except 14k.

I don’t think he cares too much since it has plenty of bids and basically sold.

I don’t
Hands could be relumed.

Great, thanks. So couldn’t find anything either. Being new to UG I thought I would ask in case.
