Mine, with a flatter case back, thinner lugs and Polerouter logo:
Two x Universal Geneve Polerouter with exceptional patina
Not long ago I had a small GTG with one of my local friends...
As always great to catch up and discuss watches!
But this time he really made my jaw dropp…
Out of his bag he pulled something that at first glace, I thought was my watch?!
A Universal Geneve Polerouter with perfect chocolate patina!
My friends watch: Polerouter, Crosshair dial with sweet chocolate patina!
Unfortunately I didn't have my UG Polerouter with me, but look at mine and you will understand why I thought he was pulling a trick on me!
OK, after a closer look you see the differences...
His being a early bumper automatic, mine being a paten pending microtor.
His watch also being a tad larger (1-1.5mm? in diameter), wider bezel and with slightly larger lugs.
On the back the differences are shown more clearly...
My friends watch: higher case back, with extra volume for the bumper rotor. Earlier UG logo engraving.

Next time we meet, I hope to make the pair shot!
Big thank you, my friend for showing me this beauty!

It’s not often that your jaw drops (vintage watch wise that is)
Still gonna Crane Krick yo ass if you pull the finger move
It probably looked the same back then....
Only difference is that now you also see it!

So similar, must be same dial maker/same material
Not sure if same batch as these models came after each other, but most likely very close.
