Ship of Darlinboy thought experiment...
If one or more components of a watch has been replaced with correct and appropriately aged parts can you tell the difference?
If you answered yes - 🤨
Well played @M’Bob. 🍿
I guess all the guys who track changes made to watches in the market are all crazy then...
Not a crime. When we prioritize the history of a timepiece over it's functionality and aesthetic, I feel like we miss the point. It's like leaving a classic car to rot because we don't want to lose the patina. Things age and all we are doing is slowing down the process while still enjoying them.
My two pence says that all changes could be recorded in an on-going condition report that accompanies the watch. It would be include before and after photos as well as a justification for the actions. Its a more permanent version of what this thread was all about.
BTW the watch looks great now.
