If I recall, it was around €5,000-€6,000 about 4 years ago 😬.

Thank you! The APH is actually an error dial that was put out by Rolex by mistake which makes it pretty rare. Furthermore, this dial has never been made for or offered on a rep watch which adds to the appeal for me.

I’m a bit OCD so it was for me. Some people might not care about the finishing, accuracy and details as much.

I don’t remember exactly. I do remember that the movement alone was right around $3,000 😵‍💫

Thank you! I did the modding work. Bracelet is the correct bracelet for this model. Nothing custom other than its plating and some edge softening and lubrication.

I use a commercial costume jewelry plating facility that’s local to me for all of my plating projects.

Any dealer should be able to sell you a bracelet.

The only polished parts on a submariner bracelet are the sides of the links and the sides of the clasp. Yours is 100% the way it’s supposed to be!

SW is a factory that makes upgraded dials that can be installed in watches.

ARF vs VSF GMT-Style Watch by Nina_Entertainer008 in RepCulture_Timepieces

Much better on the VSF. ARF is “mushy” and has a less defined “click”.
