AP 14790 36mm genuine dial build

[WildString46]

Has anyone tried transplanting markers from a BP 15300 into a 14790 (long marker) gen dial? I presume the AP logo wouldn’t fit but was wondering about just the marker length and attachment posts.

Mind telling me what you paid?

Did you have to drill the dial to put the movement ?

14790 Dials vary from $600-1400 depending on condition and luck.

Little quick update since my last post.

I had to get another BP 14790 as the first bezel was crooked to the left and the clasp AP logo was upside down (LOL)... oh well, we are in the rep game this happens. Anyways, after a few weeks I got the second 14790, and it's great..everything is aligned and off I go to get the white gen dial installed. It is not a straight plug and play, the gen dial's feet have to be clipped and glued on.

I love it, it is the perfect size for my skinny ass wrist (6.4") and I tend to prefer oldies. Honestly, the BP dial is already pretty damm good, from what I can tell the text is of course better on the gen dial and the AP logo alignment is straight. The datewheel is the problem here, it needs to be re-aligned, as it is a bit to the left currently. Trying to find a gen datewheel + hands and will sending to Legend for some finishing touches.

Thank you
