cc33 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hello, I finally got a response and pics from Minh for a pn 6265 dial to have as an option for my phong 6265. Phongs dials are ok but they are 5-600$ so you would expect perfection. Minh wants 1000$ for his. I was going to buy the phong one whenever his would be ready, but now I'm seriously considering this one. The top are minh's and last one is phong's. Worth the astronomical price?

luigi22 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 hmmh... a thousand bucks for a rep dial, let alone a rep of such a controversial (i.e. likely fake) dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Lol, ok then I guess it is too much.. still hunting I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Bumping this thread as I am weighing the same options as CC. Only difference is that I am looking into a 2-line white PN dial for a 6239/6241 buildl. I see a clear difference between a Phong and a MQ. Still waiting for pics from both as I initially received the controversial 3 CROC dial pics. Almost twice the price...I know, it's a rep dial anyway you look at it. However, the gen can't even be had!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 If you really want something, you just have to forget the price tag and enjoy the life. Does paying big bucks for something fake make any sense at all? Definitely not. But that doesn't stop bimbos from buying plastic tits, either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 But that doesn't stop bimbos from buying plastic [censored], either. That is the best analogy to this hobby I've heard! There's nothing like gen there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 My '41 (right) has an MQ dial (I replaced the crown with a gen, painted the index markers & gave it a bit of my usual enhanced patination treatment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's amazing that for a $1,000 dial, the markers are still the wrong color!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Not anymore. There's no way I'm gonna risk painting the markers! I have no skills and tolerance for risk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Way to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Way to expensive Depends. There's a genuine white Sigma on sale on eBay for $3000 that was modified (poorly, IMHO) with the red Daytona writing. I think Sheartime has tried to auction this one a few times. I personally think that is way too expensive. The crooked Daytona would kill me every time I look down at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 not worth it to buy the rep dials......$3000 for a gen sigma like the one on ebay is a great deal.......bet you could remove the red daytona lettering easy enough....

cc33 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Gen sigma dial can be had for 2000$ on vrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Gen sigma dial can be had for 2000$ on vrm Sheartime has now relisted that dial in auction format. We will see. Back to the Minh dial,he will have pictures for me next week. Currently only has the 3 CROC Newman dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 $3000 is far from a good deal. That being said, I would never ever spend $1000 on a rep dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 That being said, I would never ever spend $1000 on a rep dial. Normally, I would agree for a dial that can be had for a reasonable amount. I am talking about a dial worth, I'm guessing, over $30,000 if such a loose dial would even come up for sale. Most of us agree that a dial makes the watch. If you go through the process of getting an expensive case, a V72, a gen insert... It becomes essential to have a great, not good dial! That's where i am at in my reflection. A $1,000 "refinished" dial is how I am trying to convince myself. I know where I will end up on this...
