concepta Posted July 19, 2009 Report 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??
specialvat Posted July 19, 2009 Report 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
concepta Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Posted July 19, 2009 ubiquitous said: Does the dial come with the tachy ring? I think so. @specialvat I don
ubiquitous Posted July 19, 2009 Report 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
rosnik Posted July 19, 2009 Report 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 .

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.

concepta Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Posted July 19, 2009 To bad there are no good RO replicas as i can get gen 2385 movements.

rosnik Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 opcrown said: right crown position like gen Is The Crown position in GEn higher than in REp? Around 1.5mmm Correct? How do you solve on the same movement? Thank you Opcrown.

rosnik Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Correcto! sorry! But the problem is olways there.
Seadweller4000 Posted July 19, 2009 Report 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.)
Watchmeister Posted July 20, 2009 Report 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.
ubiquitous Posted July 20, 2009 Report Posted July 20, 2009 VERY nice, kruz. Love that vintage small clous dial.

sander Posted July 20, 2009 Report 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!
