Modding ZF pelagos 39 with TUF dial, stupid project?

[mayhemag]

I have a ZF version and I love it, I would like to buy the tuf to see the difference side-to-side and value to use the TUF dial and hands on ZF.
In your opinion, its possible? Or the dial is fused with rehaut?

I reckon it's doable.
Is it worth it? Not so sure, I would try to source the spare dial and hope it's exactly the same size of the ZF's.

If you are really in love with the P39 and sourcing a spare dial is a no go, yes, I would probably buy the TF too to compare.

Yes, I'm looking for used TUF, after I'll send all to my watchmaker.

not sure how that'll work, the chapter ring looks to be a different shape on the two. not sure if the chapter ring is part of the dial, i imagine that it is. so if the chapter ring is a different geometry then the dial might not fit quite how it's supposed to.

hard to say without having parts in hand

exactly, for this reason I hope to have both watches and try my watchmaker
