V6 what AP are you wearing today?

[Mm..mm]

It's a franken 15202BC. Yes the hands are genuine, but the dial and datewheel are custom.

Amazing! Were the hands a direct fit to the movement?

Both are brushed actually and both types of brushings exist in gen 15706s.

Yup, the one with lesser lined brushing are the newer series while the spotted brushed ones are older series.

I heard that if you sent in your older series 15706 for servicing and if you need the bezel swapped, in goes the new bezel too?

If you send in your 15706, you have the option for:

1. Caliber upgrade
2. datewheel and cyclop upgrade
3. Bezel change.

You must explicitly request for the parts you do not want changed to be retained.

Which is still possible with AP, but i think not anymore in Rolex ...

Sadly, true... that is why more and more collectors opt for aftermarket service providers for maintenance now.

Caliber upgrade ? from old Low Beat to a newer HB ??? They came full circle with the rep ?

No man the upgrades started around 2015 for 3120s sent in for service.
TLDR: The escapement parts are replaced for new and better ones. It still beats at 21600bph.
