·Hello to everybody,
first of all I wanna thank the admin and moderators of Omegaforums.net for this wonderful section dedicated to Universal Geneve watches...it is certainly the most interesting and valuable in all the www!
I'd like to share with all the other users - especially with experts and collectors of the brand - few pictures of this UG Polerouter Sub that, thanks to other posts of this forum, I could assign to a 1st execution of the 1st generation.
I have no doubt about its authenticity because it was, and it has always been, my grandfather's watch. It is still working but is in need of a full service and of some sort of restoration: glass, as well as the case, is very scratched (but luckily it does not present any crack) and the bracelet is streched, I fear, beyond the point of no return. Apart from that dial, hands and bezel all appear in very good shape (it seems that has been applied some kind of luminova over the hands and on the triangle in the bezel). What I'm not convinced about is the unpaired game of crowns: I suspect that the monoflex crown at 4, lower and without logo, is not the original one. About this aspect I am keen to know some expert's opinions. Another minor detail that differs to the few pictures found of this model regards the loops of the case that in this case are not perforated, but I'm not too worried about that.
Thanks in advance to those willing to contribute with their advice.
Marco
PS: I presented the same question in another forum in Italian language, not specialized in UG but nevertheless with very competent users. http://orologi.forumfree.it/?t=70690219
