The U.G Polerouter Sub with its 2 sisters, Longines Diver and Polaris.
Universal Genève Polerouter Sub: A quick picture of a cool watch.
That Universal Genve doesn't have a lot of wrist time, but each time I put it on, I can't remove it. It belongs to the category of cool watches, which give you a lot of pleasure. The case, super compressor, is well known ,as you find it on some of the re...
Beautiful watch ....
Today I bumped on Mr. A. that was wearing one. Is a shame that he is so attached to this wonderful Universal. Perfect proportions. Cheers, Nilo
I don't but ...
The problem is that Mr. A. is a huge guy and he doesn't release the Universal. Now serious:.I only saw here three of those Universal. Two are impossible and the last one was a true lesson on rusty/pitting. Rare and beautiful. Cheers, Nilo
Interesting Compressor family member.. Indeed a strong but cool boy !.. Likely a strong presence on the wrist !.. Convincing charm also ! :))
Would be nice to see it in real next time ! Thx for this weekend share, Best hs
No problems. We start another list. ;)
Compared to the Longines and the JLC sisters, it is much thinner. Yes, I think you will love it! Best, my friend. Nicolas
A wonderful watch.
One of my favorite vintage divers - I can see why it seems to get stuck on your wrist. Seems that 80% or so of those I see posted nowadays are fake. What's interesting is that counterfeiters starting creating these timepieces before they really went up th...
Yes, that is a bit of a mined field, surprisingly. But once you find a correct one, you
Keep it. There is something quite spectacular with this dial. Something I would call Depth. The contrast between the black textured dial and the patina of the indexes plus the wording is captivating. Thanks for the kind words, Darren. Best, Nicolas
Soft iron dials
I definitely agree with your comments about the dial, the soft-iron magnetic-shielding dials which were required for the WWWs and subsequent pilots' watches are beautiful to me even as they wear and lose their original deep blackness; I have always tried ...
It seems.. That I have been pretty lucky today !.. Also thx to your post & comments, Padawan was well briefed.. ;))
.. an unexpected find of this morning.. Exactly as you had predicted, a lot of character, a lot of iconic appeal.. - This strong dial, with patinated indices and the writings, a great size also .. Cool !! Furthermore I like the Compressor case and the wel...
Well, found by luck & coincidance.. Love her on the wrist.. Cool but also friendly appeal.. Should be mine soon, hopefully !.. ;))
Presently reserved for me, yes.. Can\'t wait ! - Now, that the big 6542 project has come to a successful end; Just a little bit of add\'l fund raising, as she came in a surprise package of 5 pieces, all (!) veery tempting.. And what about my diet ?? Hmmmh...
5 pieces? Which ones?
I love your definition of Diet... :))) With a bot of luck, one or two pièces may come at the end of June. Best, my friend, and yes, go for the UG Polerouter Sub. It is a nice one to get. Nicolas
Yep.. Sort of very special diet.. And there just some "Reserve de patron"- type pieces, IMHO, very nice.. And although..
.. 1 or 2 may go to someone else ( if he decides, which is pretty unsure), - this bunch could even be a worth while "package" deal.. ( some Omega Divers, some Chronos plus the UG). Pretty tough decisions, but for two I\'m pretty decided already - will upd...
