to the Polerouter club of course 😀

I am happy owner of a Universal Geneve Polerouter from 1956 with cal 138SS. I bought it almost a month ago for 180 euros and it was in good conditions except from the hands:

So I sent it to my watchmaker to take care of the hands(which I chose not to replace) and here is the result

Thank you for your comments, it's my favorite watch of my small collection. I am thinking to buy a
beads of rice bracelet which I think it will suit just fine. I have a question: Do you have any contact at Universal so I can ask them for more precise dating of my watch;

First, nice watch - sort of the ur-Polerouter

Second, I don't know that UG has a terribly active heritage department (or any other department, for that matter). We all use this: http://omegaforums.net/threads/universal-geneve-resources.3590/

I written to a person there. I was only able to get the production year from Universal.

The dating charts at the above link (or elsewhere on the internet) are fairly accurate.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your replies. I know this chart but I was wondering if there was any source from Universal Geneve who could give more information. Seems there itsn't...
