    Has anyone ever tried to exchange pants other than the date wheel with genuine ones. I'm thinking gen decorated bridge parts here.

    I didn't get any other genuine parts swapped, however my watchmaker thinks that most are swappable. In fact, chefcook mentioned a few posts back that he had swapped the keyless with genuine one, iirc. :)

    I tried to broker a deal with Steve about 3 years ago for a blue Tudor insert that he sent me pics of. He wanted $600 for it. I contacted a seller out of Germany with a cold email I found on vrf asking if by chance he had one. He sent me pics of one with a price of $300. It was the same insert. I asked him if someone else had by chance contacted him about it and if so I'd give him what they offered. He said he had but that the person hadn't responded yet so he would. Bought it for $250. Mulholland was the other guy. He was trying to net a $350 profit as a middleman. A week later I contacted him to see if he still had it. He told me no as his source didn't have it anymore but he could get another for the same price. I told him it was ok as I was the one who had purchased it from his "source" for the same price he was going to get it for. He responded that he didn't think that was right of me. My response was a simple one liner: I didn't think a $350 profit was either."Never contacted that schmuck again.

    Couldn't agree more with you, mate.

    Fella tried selling me a service luminova 1665 dial for the price of a tritium one, once. :p
