New service dials on 80's Rolex
I know it's considered sacrilege to collectors to have a worn out dials (and hands) replaced during service. But doesn't a perfectly polished and maintained case look incongruous with faded dials, lumes and hands? I just bought a fair priced (4k) 16750 freshly serviced by RUSA and it looks awesome! I started to feel a tinge of regret from the threads saying any purchase at any price for a completely overhauled watch was a waste of time. However, I imagine most dials will probably need replacement after a few more decades so why not start now? Isn't it better to have a watch that's running perfectly as long as it doesn't live under glass in some museum?
Is it taboo for collectors to have replaced parts on the inside as well? I think it's absurd. |
