Thanks for the compliments, gents.

It's difficult to apply an exact figure... As you most likely are aware, gen 127 parts are just about impossible to find. I was able to purchase a franken 127 with gen dial, hands and crown that used an older Noob case set and low beat movement (no Y incablock). I ended up sending Marlin 3 127's (including the franken and a new / late Noob with the best rep movement) for him to use the best parts from to create the 127 above. The other two became the 203 'Marlin' shown above and a 'regular' Marlin 127, with his swiss hybrid upgrades which he is finishing up this week.

Past sales of gen 127 dial / hand sets that I managed to find when searching were around $1500.
