Now in possession of this Polerouter as an early Christian present (my current Grail acquisition). Found the listing from a couple of years ago: https://www.artdialwatch.com/watches-for-sale/universale-geneve-polerouter
I could use some input from you UG experts regarding the movement. Couldn't pass up the dial and case in what appears to be a great condition. However, the rotor appears to be from a 218-2, but the barrel bridge states calibre 69. Both appeared worn different from the rest of the movement. Anyway to tell if the movement is factory or a replacement rotor or barrel bridge? Would love to try and return to stock someday if i can figure out what the actual movement is (if not all original). Additionally, the search for an original trapezoidal crystal hadhs thus far been fruitless. Thanks for any input! I have plenty more pictures of they would work.

Today was the Contax day.
To my knowledge 6 examples found, a rarity, as the film-compax 😉
Here is a group shoot of two of them 😀
New score - Polerouter 869113 - and turning tropical! 😀
