POLEROUTER
When assessing a Polerouter watch, it's important to evaluate the main components individually: the dial, case and caseback, movement, and details.
​
Dial
The dial is typically the most important component and should be assessed first. It should be an original Universal Geneve Polerouter dial and correct for the reference, with no signs of dial cleaning or watchmaker tool marks. The condition of the dial is also important.
When evaluating the case and caseback, be wary of any Polerouter being described as "unpolished" since most watches undergo some level of polishing during servicing.
Pay attention to the lugs of 18kt gold cases and the capping on gold-capped models, which are often affected by overpolishing.
Check for legible numbers on the caseback since their absence can detract from the watch's collectability. Check for corrosion or major acid pitting, which can cause structural or waterproofing problems.
Microtor movement
The movement is the simplest part of the watch to check and repair, but missing or incorrect parts can be a red flag. The Chronometre movements are individually numbered and can be difficult to repair if missing parts. Check the correctness and condition of the movement, paying attention to the rotor style, balance style, top plates, and calendar wheel condition. The movement plates should be in similar condition, and rotor rubbing marks should be checked
