Where were you about 2 years ago? I had one of these (admittedley with not as good a dial as the auction) that went for just over £50. They're a nice watch but I never seemed to get on with it.

 

US $2.325,00 !

That's a different watch. Or do I miss something?

 

My apologies to @Masterofkarate and @bimbim1207 for not responding to your queries on this one. I found myself conflicted and put my own interests first; I do hope you understand.

It is a bumper polerouter with case reference 20217-9. It's not a reference you see very often. The steel marker ring with gold hour markers is correct and is unique amongst Polerouters to this reference I think.

The serial of this watch is extremely close to that of the watch in the link above, which is the only other example I've seen of this reference.

The pictures were terrible though. Fingers crossed @Larry S was wrong about the dial.

 

Are you talking about this?

So did you buy it? I was thinking about the reason for the price.

 

That's right and yes, I did buy it.

Difficult to value. I definitely think it is one of the rarer bumper references but rarity doesn't always equate to value.

I bought it for my collection because it is unusual but also because I thought it was attractive and the case looks sharp too. My hope of getting a bargain went out of the window in the last few seconds of bidding but I'm still very pleased.

I must stop talking about watches before I receive them - I've probably completely jinxed myself now.

 

Congrats! And good luck with it. The case is really sharp. I was on the bid too but 2k was my stop point.

 

Congrats!

I was looking closely too since it would nicely added to my collection, I have a few other pieces with the same ref# 20217, too.

The case looks sharp and I'm pretty sure that the dial is original too, good luck! do post us an update with more photos! And thanks for the link above!

Anyone here get this nice Aero Compax? Listed for $3k for the bid and sellers asked for $5k BIN. I contacted him and got a reply, too bad due to different time zone someone else snagged it before I woke up

 

Oooh, that's nice!

Anybody have any clue what this dial would have been fitted to?

wow never seen this before :O

 

Congratulations on the watch. I mean the seller called it "as found" and if there is any truth to this, its OK and you will be getting a great looking watch from a drawer or attic somewhere. Fingers crossed! It went far over my price range, and now i know why. I was very curious to why it made such a steep price, and actually just about to post a question here
For humor, did my post lead you to the listing?
Please post some pictures and a update when you get it Would love to see some better photos.
On a second note, as a fairly new watch enthusiast, the UG polerouters is one of the lines that attract me the most! If you ever have one to spare, feel free to send me a message

 

That's super cool and congratulations. Please post your quality pictures once you get it.

 

A seemingly low price given the badly pitted chrome case; worth it factoring potential service cost?

The case keeps its "original finish", really? this looks like one of those australian ones to me....

 

I couldn't agree more. Poor case, "GEN EVE" dial, terrible looking fully lumed dial etc

 

Did you ever find out the meaning of the “telesport” dial

I myself have found a piece with the same but cannot find any info anywhere

 

I think it is an add on print by a tv/radio station or something along that line but can’t be confirmed. It was spotted in UG forum before.
