[@the_9ent]

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

What a beautiful piece! The wristshot made me reconsider 34mm watch size.

[@pickles632]

wrist oresence is all about dial size and lug shape. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine when youtuber say men can’t wear 34-36 because its too small.. men used to wear 31-33mm. if you try a watch on and you think it looks good, it is good. go try a 34 and see if you like it!

[@boujtonboul]

@@pickles632 I'll try them for sure! It looks so perfectly fine here. Thanks for your comment!

[@pickles632]

@@boujtonboul So I have a 7.5 wrist and i find 34 to be slightly too small for me but 36 is very classy! It just depends on the watch!

Really nice watch Norman. I just picked up a Benrus re-issue D-day commemorative watch with almost the same dimensions except it has an ETA 2801-2 hand wound in it with drilled lugs and it comes in around 10mm thick and like you I really like those vintage sizes but really like the 36mm.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Nice! Yeah 36mm is kind of my sweet spot, but have a few over/under pieces :)

[@void1984]

Congrats! I'm glad you were able to grab it, before UG revival increased the prices.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@void1984 Thank you!!

[@pickles632]

It’s just perfect in so many ways.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

It really is!

[@obesetuna3164]

A beautiful find.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you!! 🍸🍸

[@ald4104]

Such a hit. why no one makes hommage to this, 36mm, affordable...

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Timefactors has one coming - sposed to drop around the end of the year - 38mm

[@jamesblonde2271]

Lovely peice, nice one mate.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you so much!

[@nilsweers1887]

beautifull piece! cant wait for my polerouter to come back from the watchmaker

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Same! Sent it off to Tic Toc Watch Repairs, anxiously awaiting an update email.

[@tonyvera-cruz6422]

Congratulations Norman! Looks like an early original. If you have a trustworthy watchmaker, get him to check if it's a bumper or micro rotor caliber. May I add that it's an early Gerald Genta design. FYI Eddie Platts of Timefactors is releasing a revival.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you! I'll actually be doing a history vid of it Mon. I'll be sending it to TicToc watch repairs this week. It def needs a servicing :/ Thanks for watching!

[@or6144]

Of that's not a redial and if it's the original crown that came with that watch that's a winner right there. So many Polerouters being sold with a replacement crown.

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Very VERY elegant - Wow !!!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you! Def one of the MOST beautiful watches I've ever seen in the flesh.

[@MrBBaptista]

Yes that's one beautiful watch that i want . Sadly out of my price range. For now....

[@guanwaiheng1351]

Where can someone purchase this d From? Look on ebay they all not in very good condition.
