Dial Restoration
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone of you had experiences of the older neo vintage 14790 royal oak models have the dial fade and turn tropic. Can AP restore or replace the dials? How does that affect the value? Do you prefer damaged tropical dials or as true to original color? |

AP can often replace an original dial with a "service dial".
Value depends on the collector, but most vintage collectors prefer original parts. A tropical dial with a pleasing pattern can be sought after. Others look kind of chewed up and may not be as desirable. |

Will they allow you to keep the original parts and dial?

My buddy had the white dial replaced with the black one. 15450ST. They kept the original dial with them.
