Watch looks decent enough. I think the dial is original black, which is not considered a premium with these. Everything else looks as it should, except for the crystal, which if original. should have a "U" logo that matches the crown.

The Polerouters sometimes has serious issues with autowind bearings that caused the rotor to literally engrave circles into the caseback. For that reason alone, I would be hesitant to buy without a movement photograph unless the rest of the watch is in near mint condition, which this example is not.

The case has been polished a bit, but that's normal with Polerouters.

meh. Easy-to-find reference in indifferent shape. More polish that this case can bear, IMO. Only at rock-bottom price.
