Interesting moon phase that someone snapped up the moment I clicked on the listing... not exactly sure why.
Wow, this one went for cheap. The dial has some scuffs, but that's still a 14K case for what would have been a reasonable price for a steel case.
Not sure if this one has been mentioned, not cheap but interesting looking http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Uni...965604940?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19d610c24cPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

You and me both, I've come closer to hitting he buy button with these then with Zenith's. Have only be saved by providence and the appearance of some vintage Omegas.
I just have to repeat "home remodeling then Breguet" over & over & over & over....... EDIT: You guys have no idea how close I was to making a serious run at that Monodatic: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190812705142?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I had a stash of several hundred more than what it sold for, but just couldn't justify it when push came to shove.

Is this really a polerouter? case looks a bit too formal compared to the other deluxes http://www.ebay.com/itm/M899-Mens-1...096914313?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item4172ae8589Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Yup. It's a polerouter. I thought your question was going to be if it was really a polerouter since it has a bumper inside rather than the microrotor movement... the earliest polerouters had bumper automatics, and some were quite fancy. http://www.polerouter.de/frameset-collection.htm
Ahk I guess I just associated Polerouters with that semi-sports style case, rather than seeing them as dress watches. The other thing is if the point is magnetic shielding for trans-polar journeys, how does the gold case work with that? :\
Yes it is. Styggpygge will be along any minute and show his Cuban deLuxe, and you will melt with envy.....
Couple more interesting pieces: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-G...656939896?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item485498b778Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-G...918032228?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ec7a5df64Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
A good question! Many Polerouters were in anti-magnetic steel cases with a heavy (300 micron) gold cap, to give them the true look of a gold (not gilded) case without sacrificing the shielding. Not sure how that worked with a solid gold case unlsess there was an inner casing.
Not sure if this one's been around before or what http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-G...220712536?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3381c83058Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Aero-Compax, condition is very rough but maybe there is a NOS dial out there somewhere... http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-UNIVER...223211097?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3381ee5059Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
