... when I bought it I wouldn't have cut the feet!

- Gen "APH" dial, crystal, gasket, bezel.
- ARF 904L base, reshaped lugs and shortenes pushers.

I thought it was a standard gen dial when I bought the part but another member pointed out on a wristie thread that it was one of the rare "APH" dials. Who would have thought that a dial with a typo error would trade for $5k - $10k more than a normal dial!

If noob released this we would all reject the QC - ha.

The is will soon be transplanted to the noob superclone 4130.

Bummer bro, live and learn. A guy on TRF had an error dial 5 digit GMT for sale, same deal. In great shape they can bring 10K, this one was 19K.

The error dial is a "sticks" dial, meaning the Roman numerals after GMT Master (II) don't have horizontal lines on the top and bottom, they are just sticks

For the dial. You can only exchange the dial then if you want an aph watch

From my post above,

"A guy on TRF had an error dial 5 digit GMT for sale, same deal. In great shape they can bring 10K, this one was 19K."

I have no doubt this one will sell at the asking price. Go figure. Have you seen the gen new style Air King with two numeral '3's and no '9'? That thing will bring a small fortune someday.

Yes, that is a total screw up and I can understand it, but don't get the APH thing.
