I was offered this tiger eye dial which I have on hold and I am sure I am buying but it has some cracks on it as pointed out in pics however once installed should not be too noticeable? He is asking 2200$ shipped and installed. FYI my day date 18248 is a daily wearer and is never going to be polished and takes abuse so not concerned about scratches on dial. Its the top portion I am concerned about. just curious to see if it’s a fair price as I haven’t seen any others like it listed lately.

I would be curious to understand how the damage happened in the first place? Installed my bet would be that you will not be able to see the imperfections too much, especially on your daily wearer.

Do you think the price is fair?

I wouldn’t give that much for it. I’d rather wait for a better example. They’re uncommon, but not really that rare.

~JJ · 28 March 2019, 09:35 AM

I wouldn’t spend that kind of cash for a dial with that large of a defect... I would always think about it. Hold out for a good example if you are prepared to spend a couple thousand on cool a replacement dial.

joli160 · 29 March 2019, 02:39 AM

I would not want this in my DD because of the damages.

Jeez louise. Not for a dial no way sir

airpeace · 29 March 2019, 03:26 AM

why?

enjoythemusic · 29 March 2019, 03:45 AM

Cracked dial, no way for that price. Not sure the price on broken dials of that type. i'd offer $700 installed at most and that means new gaskets too.

AdamW · 30 March 2019, 01:08 AM

That's a lot of $ for a significantly flawed dial. Just my 2 cents but I would pass and keep looking. But only you can answer if it's worth it to you.

Mr. K · 30 March 2019, 01:19 AM

Love tiger eye. But with those defects, I would wait. $2200? Nope.

Tangier11 · 30 March 2019, 01:42 AM

Seems a little pricey considering condition IMHO

Skyrider01 · 30 March 2019, 03:11 AM

$2200 for a defective dial? No thanks!

R!$ · 30 March 2019, 03:45 AM

Price is fair given the rarity and condition

peterpl · 30 March 2019, 06:55 AM

not sure why you would want a damaged dial installed on your watch? Doesnt make sense to me.

173rdabn · 30 March 2019, 08:05 AM

Run, run fast and far. Not worth that money with that damage.

donas · 30 March 2019, 08:10 AM

I agree with most others, no way for that price! In all honesty, I wouldn't put a damaged dial in my watch for free; it would drive me nuts.

jeffnnj · 30 March 2019, 08:16 AM

Not so sure I’d jump but if was malachite I’d jump a bit higher.

No way, on price or dial.

Fallranger · 30 March 2019, 08:45 AM

Pricey for a damaged dial. You might regret it if they are visible.
