concepta Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Would you pay 1K for a genuine brand new AP ROO dial+handset? (considering this is a 15K watch) You think the rep dial is good enough?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Does the dial come with the tachy ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialvat Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Would depend on model for me and how much work the case will need to make the dial fit, but 1K is alot of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concepta Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Does the dial come with the tachy ring? I think so. @specialvat I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 For the right project, the dial, tachy ring and hands could be very useful. Say, for a project using the right DD module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 IMO: On white APROO, Rep dial is better than Gen . This lume apart, that you can get upgrade (Gen like) from a profy luminova-man . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(considering this is a 15K watch) You think the rep dial is good enough?? Why buy a genuine dial? Buy a replica. We all know that prices of spare parts AP are too high for a rubber bezel call 700, 100 for a mesh of 15202, 3000 euros for a complete overhaul .... prices are crazy for big players and manager.

Seadweller4000 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well the problem with the DD module is that you will have to replace it on every service. It cannot be repaired or serviced. (That's at least what my watchsmith tells me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Marcus' watch is a work of art. I know what lengths he went to in making it. Now I am experimenting with seconds at 12 and seconds at 9 cases and gen and rep dials and inner bezels to see what works. They all will require case work and a new movement ring work to allow the movement to sit properly and align the pushers and the lowered crown. My MBW-based original franken is long redone and gone - here are a couple of pics. Now I am on to the next experiments to see if any other combination works. I am hoping to have something intelligent to say in a couple of weeks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sander Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 The problem is that the gen dial won't fit the rep (sec at 12) movement because of the date window. Unless you have a gen movement for it, I would never pay 1K for it. just my 2 cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
