I know about as little about vintage cars as I do about vintage watches but I am familiar with Singer, Ruf and Les Artisans de Genève. I do think that the vast majority of "reimagined" 911s and Daytonas are real value killers, but there's always a couple who attain enough stature that their high prices to do the work carry through in the resale market and don't necessarily depreciate like a stone. It's pretty tough to earn that kind of reputation and few do.
In my uneducated opinion, the idea of replacing original hands and dials that have great value and keeping them for if/when you sell the watch, while putting on a service dial or whatever for your own enjoyment makes a lot of sense to me. Those 6263s are beautiful. I was astounded to read about he RSC bills for vintage hitting five digits, even if that's not where you want to go. Yikes!
