Very nice Polerouter sub

I am envious of your Polerouter Sub. A beautiful piece. Totally agree that all original parts are best. I was attracted to the Polerouter Sub that I bought by the bracelet (only ever seen one pic of a PS with an original bracelet). Thereafter I was pretty much committed to a restoration of the dial and essential maintenance. You will see in the "before" pics the hand paint on the bezel and the dots of lume on the hour markers - couldn`t live with it.

Thanks Rob and to all who are showing interest in my "folly of passion" in restoring this iconic timepiece. Once again - if anyone knows of any dials (very good condition or hopefully NOS - that WOULD be a miracle) then please let me know. I am a small co... 

still way to go, keep it on.

UG sub is a good example from this brand imo. nice movement and timeless design. hope to see your before, processing, after photos. sure wrist shot is a must. but i prefer a piece with original parts rather than a set up one. here are mine:...
