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??

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.

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. :D

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!

You are absolutely right. It requires gen movement and significant case work.
