I tend to believe that the broad arrow models were all early enough to be confined to the bumper movements. But there are bumper Polerouters without BA hands.

 

I only saw the lume on the bezel on the Broad Arrow model.

 

Oh, I agree that the BH hands seem to have been used exclusively with dials including with outer ring shown above. Not all were lumed, of course (i.e. gold, gold capped). Also, there are examples with those dials that do not feature BA hands…

 

Are you suggesting that the Ebay one is not correct, having a microrotor (judging by the caseback shape).

The one on eBay just sold for 2.5k, amazing price.

 

Broad arrows of every brand are increasing. Is it legit, though? - that is the question.

 

Here is the full listing :

 

Thoughts on this Polerouter with a 'J.W.Benson' signed dial?

Redial.

 

Ditto

 

damn you guys have keen eyes! What points you to a redial?

Redial as in fake (the cosign added later) or just cleaned up/repainted?

 

Compare details with:

It's been refinished.

 

Redial as in reprinted. The co-signature might have been an original feature, but the whole thing has been repainted. Look at some of the UGs owned by members on this site, and compare fonts closely. The A's are a dead giveaway for me.

 

Then there are details like extension of the crosshairs into the 6 and the '2' of the 12. Sloppy.

 

How about the fact that the shield logo fell off? LOL

 

Well, the falling off is disrepair, not necessarily shenanigans. Except it looks like someone lumed the blank logo spot.
