THanks for your comments, and after reading what you wrote I should have written at the beginning that I'm not familiar with this specific UG model (I'm aware of the dressier vintage Polerouters, but not this one). There's some website that's entirely devoted to these polerouters, I think it's not updated recently, but it's a nice compendium.
Have a good weekend,

Please...Thanks. It would be a real minimum, don't you think?
Anyway... It is good. Best, Nicolas
actually PP, UG were one...
actually PP, UG were one of the forerunners of micro rotors along with Buren, Hamilton and Breitling. UG are a strange company, they have a great reputation for their tri compax chrono's, but no one knows much about them. best Graham
Thank you..
Graham for this info.... If I am not mistaken UG is not operating now.... I have seen several vintage pieces and they seem interesting.... cheers
UG are definately operating...
...under the leadership of Vince Lapaire, whom I believe is of a Cartier background. They still operate, but on a scale that is tiny compared to what they deserve. They actually released a new in-house microtor movement a couple of years back, UG 101 Cali...
I think ...
... it's fake ... just send it to me .... . JUST KIDDING !!!!!!!!! IT'S A REAL AND A GREAT LOOKING POLEROUTER, NICE CATCH !!! Filip
looks all good to me. a nice supercompressor from a good brand
i have a single crown supercompressor UN polerouter and i think the movements are great. well bought that man. although i would have done a bit of research before i bought it especially at the price they seem to sell for. best Graham
Looks good, but I question the hands.
Not that the hands are a big deal. Great watch!
some observations...
The watch does look nice, but here is why I think it's a Frankenwatch. The movement is too banged up, and the interior of the caseback is spanking new. The movement could have gotten this way if humidity came into the case, and thus the caseback would see...
What are your intentions with it?
Are you planning on purchasing, selling it etc?? Thanks for sharing. S
i see where your coming from Sebastion, but............
the outside of the case and the obvious wear on the caseback are in keeping with the condition of the movement. the caseback should have the polerouter engraving on it, but that is worn away. mine is also pretty much worn away. i cant offer a good reason ...
Amen Graham!
Well said! But at least all the words of wisdom here are read by many others than only the posters. I for one greatly enjoyed the inputs given in this thread. Gratefully yours Nikolaj
thankyou Nikolaj, i try...
thankyou Nikolaj, i try my best to say the right thing at the right time :) best Graham

Fishing Trip?
I bought the watch online. I wanted honest opinions. I value the opinion of others. I have over 40 vintage watches, and all are original!!! I just have questions about this one I just purchased. NO ALTERIOR MOTIVES!!!
Rolo,
if you had started off with a please and thankyou, the minimum you would do if you were talking to us face to face and then responded when we spent our valuable time giving you our unbiased opinions of this quite nice watch i would have been less inclined...
I really value other collectors opinions!
I collect watches as a hobby. I have I have at least 10 Universal Geneve vintage watches! Tri-compax, areo-compax, uni-compax etc...I've always wanted a UG Polerouter Sub. Bought one online and wanted you experts out there your opinions. Thanks to EVERYON...
Congrats, Roland!
Welcome to the Polerouter Sub Club! Can't wait to see pics of your Beauty. Best, Nicolas
Good fisherman
I guess you were indeed on a fishing trip: gave us good bait with this watch, we bit and talked about it, but then you weren't there to pull us out of the water! We love to see watches here, just give us more to bite on the next time so we can continue to...
Hi
Yes the Universal wtach you have bought is the real deal, I have one the same which I purchased in Singapore in 1962,new and still have it to this day, great watch
that was quick Nicolas, ...
that was quick Nicolas, i was only half way through the original post when you posted this. i like to update myself before i comment, but i dont need too now as you have welcomed John to the club. best your slow reading friend...
You're getting old, Graham. :)))
Here is a gratuitous picture of mine: Best, my friend. Nicolas....
you win as you have...
you win as you have more crowns than mine. mine being a single crown SC and not a sub. best G
It would be best to start . . .
. . . a new thread on the HoMe forum to ask for advice, rather than post your inquiry onto the tail of a three-year old entry. Cordially, Art
