Mind sharing why this is your dream watch?
Because of the Microtor? or Gerald Genta influence?

Ahh, I see, the aesthetics. :thumbsup:
Design wise, This is the watch Gerald Genta design when he is just a young man, starting his epic journey becoming the legend in horology. Technology wise, it is the watch that got a micro rotor for automatic winding, a break-though in it's time. It utilise an innovative protective bumper to protect the balance wheel, another break-through in it's time. History speaking, it is the watch officially made for Scandinavian airline's pilot for their harsh flight at the Arctic circle, so the watch is made to withstand extreme temperature and magnetic field. Furthermore, it is also the first watch to the north pole.
This is a very respectable watch, just under the radar. A good Polerouter sub (inner bezel version) still fetch many thousands in auction.

Bezelnut...thanks for the valuable info...i did not know that Gerald Genta design this watch at the age of 23 and the actual name was Polarouter before they change it to Polerouter. Keep it up Bezelnut, really appreciate :Cheers:
