What's not to like?

And.. 12 watching...

 

Don't say that - I bet somewhere some 80s guy would love to wear it

 

So ugly.....makes a similar era Tag look good.

 

You're right. I should have said - not desirable for me. There must be a person out there.

 

I think someone has altered the month disc and "DIC" should have been "DE"

 

just a wrong spelling, it's merdique

 

It's Italian, you peasant

 

Stewart owns a Ferrari.
He was making a joke about having the day and month together spell "MERDE."

 

This, of course, doesn't mean that he knows anything about Italian... but he forfeits his peasant status.

 

I suppose it does. Darnit. (And it was a pretty good joke too.)

 

Lou S, FYI, your Pole Sub photos are included in this EBay posting. His "actual" photos look nice too, but...

Hoo boy. Seller is using @LouS 's comments about an Australian-made Polerouter Sub to market his very similar UG from Down Under with a case back from who-knows-where as if it were the real deal. Brilliant!

 

Just saw the posting: tres strange. The quote appears as a non-sequitir, completely out context, and appears to imply endorsement. The quote is lifted from a post on this forum, if memory serves, from a thread discussing 1st gen subs, perhaps the same one where which identifies the space between the "gene" and "ve" as hallmark redial. This is wrong on several levels.

 

I'm pretty confident that Eric Wind (georgetownhoya) would not take this Polerouter Sub on consignment.

One thing that really bothers me on the dials, in addition to the notorious gap in GENÈ VE, is the pointy-topped A's. They should have flat tops in this era; this is the most common re-dial tell there is.

 

So it's even worse than I initially thought - a redial too?

 

Upon a quick reverse image search, I see that it is the same watch/listing referenced in this Hodinkee article: https://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=https://hodinkee.imgix.net/uploads/images/1452867198706-0n2c8m88kj3sdcxr-dfa6705113f61835fddf212d7bede7dc/pr.jpg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&auto=format&fm=jpg&q=80&w=580&s=f9aa255c10f234c2327ce9c338d904c9&imgrefurl=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/bring-a-loupe-january-15-2016&h=488&w=580&tbnid=yHZY58hnoAv5_M&tbnh=206&tbnw=245&usg=__MPmwtfhZQEth-kd_usTf-x3zBao=&docid=X-Vna3pz-va5CM

I don't think these are re-dials, exactly... just not authentic factory dials, in my opinion.

 

What's going on with this one? It has what, superficially looks like a nice, chunky case but it's still only 30.5mm. There seems to be almost a frenzy of bidding or is there shilling going on that I've missed?

Of course, it's rare.
