K KareemRecently purchased this Polerouter on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vinta...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
A couple of questions for the group:
- The caseback says 869115-06. Looking at the Polerouter reference site, the “06” ref extension does not include a horizontal line, and rather, this watch looks like a 869115-04. Does this mean they the case back was most likely a replacement?
- There are some visible rust spots / corrosion in the back. Any recommendation on getting those cleaned up? Or should I ignore.
- The crown is a replacement. Any idea where I can find one?
Thanks !
The dial looks like it's from an 869115-01 to me as the -04 is slate/grey coloured and not black like the -01.
The most likely scenario is that you have an 869115-06 case and the dial has been swapped. Note how all of the hands seem to be too long and overlap the ring. The hands on the 869115-06 reference look to be longer because that reference does not have a ring.
The correct crown for this reference is stepped, like a smaller version of the crown you see on a Polerouter Super. I'm sure I've seen one for sale recently on eBay.

K KareemThanks a lot. New to this vintage UG world so this is helpful. This the crown you’re talking about ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=724-127637-2357-0
Nice looking piece but I have no experience with these.

Hi everyone,
First post on on the forum, albeit I've been reading for a while.
I was wondering if any of you kind people know where I could find a rose gold, black dial pole router deluxe? I think they come up very infrequently, but I can't imagine when they do it's on eBay.
Thanks for the help in advance!
