thomasng Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 You would need a gen dial to pull this off- and they're hard to find and very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yeah, um... I think I will stick with the one I have. I cant even imagine what the price tag would be on this one. New case, new dial, new Swiss movement with correct module. YEAH, Im gonna guess $2250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Now that is watch that I would buy. The half a dozen MBW's sold at 2500 Euros were beautiful but just too expensive relative to a gen. But at the the $1500 price it makes a lot more sense.

archibald Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 If these sell for $1500, I bet you can sell as many pieces as you can find movement donor watches. I'll buy 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 No offense but if China could pull off 1:1 copies of complex dials...we'd had fewer posts on these boards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I hope can control under 1500 usd each that price sounds reasonable...I've read on RG a post from a member that got quoted a repair of his gen AP ROO for 1200$...it would be better for him each time to buy just a new mvt on the 2nd hand market...BTW...I tought that watches with this mvt's go for 1500$...

thomasng Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 that price sounds reasonable...I've read on RG a post from a member that got quoted a repair of his gen AP ROO for 1200$...it would be better for him each time to buy just a new mvt on the 2nd hand market...BTW...I tought that watches with this mvt's go for 1500$... Must step in and say this statement is flawed. The servicing+refinish costs over $1,200, I have my Black Themes in for servicing right now and I'm being charged CHF 1,500. You cannot swap the movement in the AP for one of these cheap watches- the genuine APs use a JLC base and have a gold rotor while these cheaper watches use an ETA base but the same Dubois Depraz module. The movement in an AP is a JLC movement (much more valuable) with a Dubois Depraz screwed on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement in an AP is a JLC movement (much more valuable) with a Dubois Depraz screwed on top. When AP "service" the movement, they just throw it away and put in a brand new movement... it's a lot quicker and more effective. The JLC with DD module is supposed to be pretty fragile (not quite the word I'm looking for, but it'll do) and complex. The MBW rep used an ETA 2892 instead of the JLC but did use the DD module. This gives close enough results (especially for a rep), and will allow use of the genuine dial. The pushers will also be on a different level to the crown, therefore a standard case has to be resealed and then re-drilled with the pushers in the right place.
