    That dial must be a pain to photograph, can't tell whether its filthy or just the camera angle

    One correct & clean watch from two listings. Hmmmm, who do I know here that's done nearly the identical thing with that exact dial?

    Dial needs to clean up to be worth it - hard to tell whether this dial will survive that process.

    I would leave the dial as it is.


    How much ? Hard to say. Sometimes parts are more expensive than a watch itself.

    I actually quite like that dial as is, but then I do like shiny things. Reminds me of the heat shielding they use on spacecraft

    Seemed like a good buy at under $800 for both. Did somebody here snag the pair?

    I think more like individual projects as they are different models with different movements.
