Thanks for the sharing. Im interested in the first one, but the caveat here is whether they want to post it to Asia. As long as the transaction is held in a mutually safe way, I'd like to discuss further.
The best way to buy a decent Polerouter is get in your wayback machine and set it to July 13th, 2014. When you arrive, log on (or join if you had not at that time) Omega Forums and shoot me a PM to catch this one before I listed it:

One of the consequences of the unprecedented asset bubbles that have been created by central banks over the past 10 years is that many, if not most investors and collectors have been lulled into a false sense of security in terms of rising values. Unless the biggest debt bubble in the history of the world can be resolved without another major economic crisis – and good luck with that – the values of the vast majority of assets, certainly including collectibles, will deflate.
Focussing on vintage watches, it is of course true that there are other variables in play, and that the best and most desirable models will hold value during economic downturns better than others. But those who believe that values that have been inflated, at least in part, by CB-induced stock and property values, will not come down when those major asset bubbles burst, are in for an unpleasant surprise.
In the wake of the 2008 crisis, does anyone truly imagine that the values of even the most coveted collectibles remained stable (let alone increased)?
I understand the appeal of Polerouters, but is there something intrinsic about them that was just discovered a year or two ago, catalyzing a near-doubling of values? The answer is no. And while fashion is an important catalyst of vintage watch values, I wouldn't count on it to support a price trajectory that is dubious to begin with.
May I pick your brain...?
How about this one for 500$? It's on eBay. Wrong second hand and crown and rotor rubing. What if I replace them with NOS polerouter hands(now 150$ on ebay)? Although i can spot the flaws, I still cannot do math. Or is restoring basically a bad idea to consider? Please educate this pathetic but passionate soul 😀 thanks!
You gotta be patiente, don't take shortcuts, they won't lead where you want.
I like DS diver and think about snatching used one for ~300. Do you think DS is worth its price for any models? Or do you have a certain preference for a model?
Nah, I only have around 20, so it was actually against my interest. 😁
