Hi all,

Just a quick alert to a site that I started up about a month ago.
www.UniversalGenevePolerouter.com
The site aims to combine and share as much information about Polarouters/Polerouters as possible in the one place.

Reference tables with serial ranges, model references and sub-references, descriptions and variations is constantly being updated; there are some UG specific patents, parts and technical manual scans uploaded; and plenty of vintage advertising materials. There is also a facebook polerouter discussion group, and the reference photo gallery will be launched soon...

Im not particularly active on here (more on IG https://www.instagram.com/hamblar/?hl=en), but I know there are a lot of UG and polerouter enthusiasts that could find it interesting...!

Enjoy! 馃榾

It鈥檚 a fantastic resource already and it will be even better once the photo gallery is up and running. It鈥檚 also a serious undertaking for which Polerouter enthusiasts should be grateful to you for.

You didn鈥檛 specifically request photos but would you like Polerouter owners with good original examples to contact you?

YES!
Ive been reaching out to collectors individually until now - why its taking so long to construct...
I'll gladly accept "donations" by PM here from any correct examples.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

NB: for contributions to the upcoming Photo Reference Gallery, it needs to have:
1) plain direct front-on photo of the watch head, on a white background preferable
(photo can be with the strap but I will crop it down to the head only)
2) full reference number from the caseback (must be visible, not just guessed) and serial number if possible.

The photo doesn't have to be at all professional quality, so mobile phone / cellphone camera quality is fine - just needs to be well lit so the detail can be easily seen on a desktop.
Sending by PM is probably easiest.

Thanks guys for your contributions so far! 馃榾

Excellent work @CafeRacer. Although it's like I now have a fantastically itemised and photographed shopping list that I can access on my phone from anywhere in the world......I need to save up more money 馃榿.

UPDATE - Andy Rogers from the Polerouter community has transformed the Polerouter Reference site into an App, so you can have offline storage to the main site information (no need for wifi or phone reception).

It's currently lagging a bit behind the website itself (have to manually update it), but we are working for an auto update method so the site and app stays synced.

It's available for Android in the Google Play Store, and the iOS version is being beta tested, due for release next week in the Apple App Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.universalgenevepolerouter.ugp&hl=da

Its free on both formats - hope you find it useful 馃榾
