zenith addition

Dear friends am thinking of replacing my daytona with mark ix dial with a deep yellow patrizzi dial. Only thing is that the patrizzi dial is a bit pricy (2000USD), do you think i should do it? or will my rolex become a chop shop victim? and yes am in love with the patrizzi:)

sorry 20,000$ is just way too steep... nice watch, but you couldn't get me to drop 20 g's on a steel watch at gun point...

There is no good reason to put a Patrizzi dial on a later model watch.. Everybody knows that it doesn't belong.

Find yourself a nice Patrizzi example if you like that sort of look

If someone is selling a 'Patrizzi dial' for $2K, I would be willing to bet that same amount of money it is a fake. Somebody just colored a regular dial and now wants 10X+ what it's worth. You will have to decide if it's worth that much money to you to make a frankenwatch. I would not, not in a millennium.
