    Enjoying my polerouter today, just back from service. Hmm, noticed a bit of lume has fallen out of the hour hand, probably in transport or service. Bummer, always a danger I guess. Anyhow, I love it.....

    Absolute beauty.

    I'm picking holes in near perfection here but those sub-dial hands look white in that photograph. Should they be silver?

    Yes, you are correct, they should be silver. I restored this piece and was able to find a needed original blue hand, so painted both white as it was most practical option for them to match. Always on the hunt for original, and if I find, can simply remove paint from the silver painted hand at that time.

    Thanks. It takes little, if anything, away from one of the most striking chronograph designs in my opinion. Fantastic.

    Given the extremely limited 2 year production (‘63/‘64) of these, and the incredible rarity of anything related to parts, one has to work with what they can find. Will find one day. Cheers.
