Thoughts from this knowledgeable group on this UG Space Compax for sale:


This thread is really not for inquiries so if interested in feedback would start your own thread. You should also have complete pictures of watch vs. these cut off ones as you can't really evaluate the watch. Though it is clear it is a bad relume.

I am doing some research on the Space Compax and of the two variants this one with silver subdials and one that is all black (Mk1 and 2 or “citizen” and “military’), it appears that the Mk1 comes in two different versions, one with Lume dots on the sub track (not sure I am using the correct wording), and one with lume on all the hour markers. Can anyone confirm this? Otherwise the lume on the hour markers would have to be applied aftermarket. Lots of different photos on the internet but not a lot of commentary about it. Thanks!

Looks like a bubble back or an oyster case, never heard of a coin edge case back Mark.

New to the forums! I’ve been on Watchuseek for a while and collecting vintage watches for years. Since there isn’t a dedicated UG forum there, I hopped over here to check things out.

I recently picked up a Polerouter Jet off eBay. The listing had pretty terrible photos, but after some research and extra questions to the seller, I was able to confirm that the dial, case, and movement were all correct—despite the model number being completely polished off the caseback. It took some effort, but I felt confident enough to take the plunge. (I know the crown is probably not original)

We’ll see what it looks like when it arrives, but I managed to get it for around $700, which I thought was a good deal. I had pretty much given up on finding any Polerouter for under $1,000 in reasonable condition without rotor marks on the caseback.

Thanks so much to @CafeRacer for the definitive website. It looks to be ref 20364-2 and has a pretty hefty gold cap (reportedly 300 micron) so should be intact. I have not seen a similar reference around. Last photo is the reference 20364-2 off the website.

Interested to hear the forums thoughts no matter how you come down on it.
