What We Fancy
It’s not every day you run into a tropical dial Polerouter like the one we have here. Perhaps one of the most popular vintage models from UG in today’s market, Polerouters came in many different versions over the decades but the best and most in-demand are these twisted luged ones from the 60s. Over the years, we’ve sold dozens of Polerouters, some with tropical dials some with perfect gloss.
