Hi Nicolas, my dear friend, I agree with you: these classic & nice UG deserve...
... a little more talking and showing here.
Let me say, that regretably I only have one: a non diver, first generation "Polarouter" De Luxe, that is, previous to change its name for "Polerouter". Its movement is also the one used previously to the adoption of the classic micro rotor. It is an automatic movement, with bumper rotor, caliber 138SS.
I will be more than pleased to answer to your kind invitation to show it. Let me take a little time to prepare a short post with its history, and photographs of its interesting movement. My example also has a a little interesting "extra" as you´ll see when I show it.
Thank you so much and kind regards, Abel.
Available on the marketplace
Sunday picture: Universal Genève Polerouter Sub.
A high resolution shot with the all manual settings from my camera for this beauty, in its proper environment: Sensual but still sober, this Super Compressor is so strong looking! Best, Nicolas...
Where do you find these beauties?
A lovely shot but I may prefer your signature moody vampire shot with the plain dark background, without the distractions. Thanks for showing such a rarely seen UG. I remember owning a UG once but long gone now. Best fernando
Under the sea... :)))
It is maybe 3 or 4 years that I own it, tough... This one was a lucky catch. An ad in a french collectors market, a friend who warns me, and a meeting with the seller. As simple as the Lottery. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Object of deep desire
Nicolas Beautiful picture of a wonder. I had the honor to see one of those "in metal" and you captured this watch with mastery. A great Sunday to all, Nilo
Love this watch
nice picture Nico, here is a shot of mine taken on the beach last year! Matt...
Beautiful......
More and more I am starting to appreciate older and vintage watches. I find myself drooling over vintage Memovox and triple date moonphase watches. Posts like this do not help my friend Regards. Simon
Very nice NIcholas
... I would see it perfect with a 1960's vintage Tropic strap Ciao Franco
Very nice photo composition Nicolas! Great to show us...
... a magnificent U/G Polerouter. I like these watches so much! I own a conventional example (not diver) which shows "Polarouter" on the dial, which was the original name, being changed to Polerouter later. These are very classic watches, very elegant and...
We should more often speak about these UGs, Abel.
They are very interesting and fine watches. Their micro rotors are the cherry on the cake. Thanks for your input, and when you have the time, post a picture or two of yours, please! Best, Nicolas

Beautiful example ... one of my few regrets....
in the world of horology was selling my UG Polerouter Sub. Very clean dial, nice size and an interesting movement. Thanks for posting. Darren
Sad to remind you that, Darren, but you know that
We all do stupid things, from time to time. Best, my friend. Nicolas
I love this watch.
It´s beauty is really strong, sober and sexy. This UG SubP is, indeed, an amazing watch... so simple and so "magnifique"! And the pic is, as always, as it deserves. REally thanks for remember us this superb watch. Best, hermano. Emilio
You know my love for these super compressor cases, Hermano.
Still hunting a few of them, by the way.... Si vienes a Paris, lo llevo conmigo. Un abrazo, Nicolas
Nice one, Nicolas.
Was it sensual, do you think, when it was new, or only after it took on its patina?
Sensual, it was. It now gets some character. Is that a good lawyer's answer? :) [nt]

I was thinking, "Yeah, a polerouter, sure..."
how different can this one be from the rest? well, if it's a nico post, it must be special. and my, my, my there are polerouters and there are polerouters. this one is very nice. you, my dear sir, are a connoisseur.
You're too kind, my friend.
It is special at least to me. I made a review on this watch, two or three years ago. It is a cool watch, for sure. Thanks for the kind words, Echi. Niclas
i love it when you do this as it reminds me to wear mine
mine may not be a twin crown SC sub, but it is a nice and clean single crown super compressor as you know. i posted pics of it on the later post by Abel. best graham
Will go and see that, but I do remember yours, Graham.
Love these UG so much that I wil certainly add another one, like yours, or like Abel's, in my collection. Best, my friend. Nicolas
First catch of the year?
Another of the big compressors added to your collection. This one is a beauty. Congrats.
No, my friend. I own it for 3 years, now.
You know my love for the SC cases... Still have 3 more on the hunt: Droz, Bulova, and of course, the Vulcain Nautical, the original from 1961. Best, Eitan. Nicolas
