Does anyone know with any degree of certainty if a Polerouter date was ever produced with a circular magnifier on the crystal (despite a trapezoidal window below it).

I've seen several examples floating around recently, and a quick look on polerouter.de shows at least 2 examples here:

What do you think? Replacement crystal or original?

Thoughts appreciated.

Original Universal crystals were signed with the "U" in the center, just like Omegas.

That's the only way I know to tell original from replacement.

I believe that some of the later polerouter dates did indeed have circular magnifiers.

Does anyone have a better scan of this?


I hope someone does. I have the watch in the center:
