1962 Elgin Polarus

After years of trying, I finally won a Polarus on eBay.  It is 10K gold, with a case number of 5933. It uses the 19 jewel, 752 movement, adjusted to 4 positions.

The lugs swivel, making this one of the last driver watches Elgin made.  The dial is a redial.  Overall it is pretty good, but they used the Durabalance symbol rather than the Durapower one.  I’ll keep an eye out for a correct dial.
