Do you think anyone would notice if I sneaked this red-headed step child in?

Even though it’s quite a bit older, I’ll chime in.
I’m luvin it, it’s a very nice piece and totally wearable even now after 54 years.

Hi all,
I’m a long time lurker on this forum but only just now came across this topic. I have had an OQ 17014 since 2018.
It had been for sale for a while at shucktheoyster but remained unsold due to too slow price adjustments. Currently I’m getting decent offers but not the hyped prices of 2 years ago >8,5k, which would have been the only reason to let go in the first place as I have a dream of getting a JLC and this sale would facilitate realising it. So for now I’m keeping the watch. I am still in doubt if I keep the watch as it is, or do I commit sacrilege and have a RSC dial change to a new Blue dial performed. What’s stopping me for now is that RSC only wants to do it together with a full service, which is not necessary according to my own watchmaker. Any hot takes or thoughts here?

Had some image resize issues but now OQ Should be attached

This is what I did about 2.5 years ago:

Complete overhaul - $850
- Refinish Bracelet
- Replace pins and tubes for case
- Refinish Case
Replace Crown/Gasket - $46
Replace Crystal/Gasket - $133.40
Replace Electronic Module - $650

The only untouched item was the motor.

was about $1700 & they told me the motor i think was 6-900 if memory serves me right, but wasnt needed. So I think 2500-3k at rsc for all this and a motor is the going rate ATM. These parts are not easy to get, it would be interesting if there is a spcialist with some stockpile of parts for these OQ's, could be a good idea for a watch maker I think.

Not at all. There are a lot of them on the market, mostly because their prices rose ridiculously high during the pandemic price race, so in the same time the demand dropped to almost zero.
