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.

Yeah, because it's ugly. 😲

Not exactly sure why either - it's a parts watch. Perhaps they've got a decent dial.

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:

I had a stash of several hundred more than what it sold for, but just couldn't justify it when push came to shove. (read: Windy would have freakin' killed me for spending house cash on a watch)

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.

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? :\

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.
