Gents, thanks for the feedback. Prices have indeed reached crazy levels. I do regret not getting into Patek’s earlier. I just wish there were decent reps of vintage models. While I do look like the modern 5711 and 5726, nothing beats that old school 40’s-60’s look which are timeless.

Thanks Freddy. I’ve also started looking online for vintage pieces of the same era - ie: 1940-1960. Watches that look almost identical to the 1518 or 2499 just with a different name and obviously, movement. I wonder if such a dial can be “refinished”.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here. I’ve started thinking about a high-end Patek Philippe franken. I’ve fallen hard for the 1518 and 2499. Unfortunately, there are not many options out there. Other than Phong, who is still in the game, can anyone recommend less pricey alternatives? I’ve reached out to Phong and it’s north of $20K. Not even sure what parts, dials, etc he’s using. Thanks for any input.

As luck would have it, I broke a springbar swapping bracelets today. I have an inventory of the old TC 20mm springbars. What’s the best source for the best 19mm springbars? thank you

following good luck with the project -
I recently put up this case-set for sale after having purchased it from CC33. I have not had worked on many projects in the last few years. Who currently is the best dial-maker? I’ve seen a couple on Phong’s site. Any one else? Thanks

I must admit i kinda like! Verrrrry nice.

Ahh yes!!! It’s been awhile.

Very unique dial. Enjoy this classic!

Have not looked at Franken Daytona’s in a long while. Given the increase in the 62XX in general, what does a gen dial go for these days?

This is why the knowledge of vintage rolex on RWG is second to none. -

Any 3-6-9 dials with red depth? I seem to be weak at the knees for that one...
