Only really looking for the black dial one now 😈
Hi everyone!
I’ve come across this Universal Genève Polerouter Jet and I absolutely love it. I’m not an expert on vintage UG, so I’d really appreciate some opinions before making an offer.
As far as I can tell, it’s a Polerouter Jet, probably ref. 40355 (not 100% sure about the exact suffix). It has the Microtor automatic movement and what looks like a really nice original silver dial with the concentric pattern.
The condition is what really caught my attention. The case, dial and markers look exceptionally clean for its age, and I haven’t been able to find another one with quite the same look.
One thing I’m trying to figure out is the case. The outside is gold-coloured, while the inside of the caseback is stamped “SWISS / ACIER INOXYDABLE”. I’ve seen other 40355s with gold-plated cases and steel casebacks, so I’m wondering if this combination is correct for this reference.
The seller is asking around €1,450.
Do you think this is a good example of a Polerouter Jet? Does anything look wrong or suspicious to you? And is the asking price reasonable considering the condition?
I’m mainly interested because I think it’s a beautiful and unusual watch, but obviously I’d like to make sure I’m not buying something with incorrect parts.
One of my favourite purchases. It has had some repair work, Any thoughts?
