So are you saying that the PN could be gen but with an aftermarket dial? 

I am asking for the sake of learning. I am not an expert and will refrain from commenting on the authenticity of the dials/watches. 

I would think it’s great to learn from each other 🙂 The rest of the watch might well be genuine but with the picture quality it’s almost impossible to say for sure. 
 

the bracelets are nicely stretched so they do resemble a used band from 5-60 years back. Heh.  

Thanks for sharing these with us 🙂 

 

I am under the impression that the PN shouldn’t be genuine from the reflective surface of the subdials. (The photos aren’t really clear so I cannot be 100% certain).

 

The “anti-magnetique”, if this is a 4767, should be in a straight line instead or curving around the subdial 6, if I were to look at most references out there... then again I don’t know enough of the Killy to make an informed confirmation. 
 

It was commonplace to have dials and parts refinished and swapped back in the day, so it’s a possibility. Either way still lovely watches. 

What a wonderful rep
Does that help soothe your battered soul?

lol lovely PN brother! ;-)

Anyways mine's but a basic build, it's a Noob with ARF bezel, genuine hands and a genuine (refinished) Dial lol.

Been wearing it daily because the movement is such a joy!

I wonder how much one of these would cost if available.

I got mine about $5.5k? 1803 prices range around that price these days.  

Yay to the subs on jubilees

You need to post your whole collection some time, it appears that you have countless breathtaking watches

@blackboxes you're gonna have to tell us more about that little beauty?!

Hehe credit largely goes to @DVNE for building her really! From my memory i believe it's a VN spec dial and case, largely reshaped and chamfered. Hands are sanded to brass, aged. To add to it, I changed the insert to @slay's Kissing 40 and there we have it!
