Any thought on this 869116/01 that sold recently? Looking to get a sub but missed out on this..
Sorry for not responding sooner - busy week. I've added a couple of images from the listing for the record. I think there were a few issues with this one.
I'm not at all sure about the bezel. Notice that the teeth on the bezel and the sides of the bezel are black rather than steel/silver coloured. The bezels on these are often very worn and this one looks like a recent replacement to me as the wear is not consistent with the wear on the case. Could it be a NOS replacement? Perhaps but that silver ring around the outside of the bezel just doesn't look right. So I'm wondering whether it's a modern replacement or perhaps from another brand.
It was also missing its original crystal with loupe, had a couple of nasty bumps on the side of the case and the dreaded signs of the rotor rubbing on the inside of the case back.
I guess this explains why it sold for around $4000. I suspect a really good one might make twice that much.

·Crown has been replaced but it otherwise looks to be correct. Less common 'Swiss Made T' text but I think it's ok.

·I think I would have pounced on this if it had been 34mm without the crown. Just for the novelty value.

Kardex were a Universal-owned brand though I'll concede that I've never really understood what they were supposed to bring to the party.

It would be fun at 34mm on a tropic strap, at 32 I'm not so sure.

Not expensive but a bit scruffy and tired. Crown is a replacement. Date disc looks dirty.
Movement looks a bit tired too with signs of rotor wear.

·Hi all. I have been trying to enter into the world of vintage watches. So in the last weeks or so I have been researching what could be my first (vintage) watch.
What are your thoughts on this https://www.chrono24.com/universalgenve/universal-geneve-polerouter-date--id18335937.htm
My budget was 1500-2000 but this one might be worth extra 1,000
I like that it doesn't have too much signs of wear (i think). Looks unpolished and most importantly i can see box and original papers, which i understand its rare.
More info here https://www.chrono24.com/universalgenve/universal-geneve-polerouter-date--id18335937.htm
Thank you very much!
Great to have a box and papers, which do appear to match the watch.
The crown is in bad shape and has the later fat U logo (I assume it's a later replacement but couldn't be absolutely certain). Replacement gold UG crowns are near impossible to find, so that is something to bear in mind.
I'm not sure about your unpolished comment. To me, it looks like the case has had a light polish as there is a shine that would not be there otherwise and some of the light surface scratches have been softened. This is completely normal though; I think it would be very unusual to find a gold watch that had not been polished at all.
