路By the way the naked skeleton hands are a modern phenomenon. Can't say I'm a fan.

路Welcome to the world of vintage watches, my friend. Very glad to see a rookie asking the right questions and putting in the time and expense necessary to educate himself.

路I realize I'm way out on a limb in terms of being such an originality nut, but on the vintage pieces, I respect owners that decide to leave the 'lume' hands skeletonized when the lume crumbles to dust. It sure beats minty toothpaste green relumes.
Now, skeletonized hands on a modern "re-edition" piece... that's just dumb.

路路Mrs Nataf's Other SonSorry, the details are proprietary information.
Oh, all right. Off the top of my head: That pointy-topped A in COMPAX is a dead giveaway. And most of the numbers in the subdials and the minute register look wrong to me. Those rounded 3's really bug me. And the closed 6's. Not a particularly bad re-dial, and probably an old one, but... re-dial.
It's actually a pretty good redial, but a redial nonetheless.

路Redial or original? Doesn't look quite right.

My knee-jerk reaction is kosher. But who can tell from those photos?

路Exactly. His photos, rating, and penchant for purchasing watches from sellers in India has me worried.

Learned something new everyday from this forum! Never really know about the pointy A on UG. Almost bid for this watch because it was going for a pretty good price but there's just something about the dial that seems odd, eventhough I still thought that the dial might be original because it looks aged (now I know it's a pretty good old re-dial). I'm getting a Sala book once I've moved to a new apartment and have my shipping address sorted, still need to learn heaps more for my future acquisitions!

路I'm sure I have seen this before. I recognize the radium burns on the dial. I just don't remember the circumstances?
I have little faith this will sell at a low price, but it looks nice, and appears to be a real auction without the loser-reserve you usually see.
I'm watching, but I'm not buying. I get the uneasy feeling I saw it with a reserve before so I'm prepared for shill bidding and 脿 reappearance down the road.
But who knows? I have been wrong ....lemme think.... Five times before.

I agree. It seems familiar... not in the last couple weeks familiar, but a bit of deja vu nonetheless.

路I think this Polerouter is honest. Although the crown looks to be UG, I'm wondering if it's right for this watch. Can the junk at 12 be cleaned?

The condition would turn me off, but I believe the crown to be original. I happened to have purchased a GC Polerouter recently, and did some research into crowns. I have found many examples of unsigned crowns of that style, and am confident that they were used (though not exclusively).

Looks like a decent Tri-Compax.. dial original it seems? Not sure about pushers or crown though.
