Hello

It is me again, I came across an another UG and I wanted your precious knowledge to tell me what to think about this polerouter.

Thank you and best regards.

 

I'm a rookie at this but I think it's a redial:
- minute marks too well defined and show no fade
- cross hairs are too black, thick and well defined
- vertical cross hair bleeds into the silver edge at 6 o'clock
- horizontal cross hair appears to bleed into the date window, maybe that's an illusion
- "Universal Geneve Polerouter Date" font looks like it's been touched up

 

By that pic, and imo, redialed and overpolished. Forget it

 

Is it considered to look like this one:



Well, compare for yourself...

 

What do you think of the vertical line of the crosshair not centered on the "U"? Do you find it OK?

(you should not, it is a -bad- redial)

 

Thank you very much, I am quite new in the polerouter field and I learn a lot thanks to you

 

Actually, even if you don't know much about a specific model there are "generic" red flags, as explained by @hungdangnguyen23 in his post. You have to pay close attention to the little details and the overall patina. Any spotless, new looking dial in a 60 year old watch is . And back then, they knew how to finely print a dial and were not sloppy on high end products.

 

redial, but done in a quite neat way. Avoid.

 

+1 redial.
