Could someone shed Some light on thee originality of this Polerouter, for sale for a hefty price:

In my fairly untrained eye, two things seem off:

The crosshair cut throug lettering in a way that deharmonizes the dial.

The crown seems like a Replacement.

Thanks Guys!

The crosshair looks fine to me. The crown is a replacement. The dial seems damaged by water and i wonder how the movement looks...

Anyway, if it sells at that price then i'm richer than i thought:

I like that they self-reviewed the watch as “5 stars”.

Sounds legit to me...

This is a fun piece: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-19...507133?hash=item3638857ffd:g:PfIAAOSwnTpbCvT7

I had a quite similar piece once: https://omegaforums.net/threads/tell-with-as-1130-movement-and-great-art-deco-dial.72376/

Saw this, rare indeed but not so attractive to me.

Agreed. Must be yet another semi-prototype 😉
The early Tri Cases had protruding pushers...The "Tricompax" is correct but not often seen. Moon face is a plus...Dial is a bit too roached out for my taste but overall a good watch at a fair price...IMO.

"roached out" - never heard that expression before, but I agree with your assessment, and it's just become my new favorite phrase! 👍

Cant claim credit for that one.... "American Pickers" on History Channel. I like the term too.
