DIY bezel but I like it! Ref 5186: https://drouot.com/en/l/27461636-jaeger-steel-chronograph-wristwatch-black-dial-silvered
Ben Clymer is auctioning one of his Polerouters this weekend through Phillips:

This is great publicity for the UG relaunch, I wonder if it was coordinated.
It's a really beautiful piece in amazing condition--excited to see how much it goes for. Could help legitimize the price for a new Polerouter when they launch.
Movement: The movement is running and the date changes correctly at midnight. We recommend servicing. Please note the watch has not been tested for accuracy.
For most UG collectors, it’s not about accuracy—it’s about rarity, originality, and untouched pieces, preferably with box and papers. The limited edition sticker alone is worth at least the finest servicing. If you’re after precision, just grab a Swatch and call it a day!
Couple of (very) nice and interesting UG's appeared online in the last days.
Very interesting 22258. Highest serial of this batch I found. Tanknumber now at 150. https://live.piguet.com/lots/view/4...ses-de-lune-annes-1950mouvement-cal-481-mcani
Ref 12454. Absolute rarity. 1st one I saw. 14k Compax. https://www.ebay.com/itm/405384600654
The word NOS is one of the most abused in the watch world but this one may qualify. Extremely nice 5166 from the 2nd batch. Wonderful piece https://www.watchnet.co.jp/item/view/5866
Ref 22537 with savoy knot. Dial is not in the best condition but for a 36mm the asking price of EUR 2k is very reasonable:
Of course not NOS but still nice: https://mimandcroket.com/project/nos-oversize-universal-geneva-chronograph/
