Jeez man, a genuine Big Red service dial... where on God's earth do you find this stuff???
I shudder to think what just this dial set you back, let alone the cost of the complete build by the time you finish. Rare air for repdom. But as you say, when you're creating vintage uber-Franken builds like this, where's the line between rep and gen? Even the auction house experts might have trouble with some of these... I'd think that if you could customize matching and date appropriate serial numbers, the only folks that could tell 100% that they are "Frankensteins" would be Rolex, Inc.
Maybe you should ask Bob Maron for an appraisal, lol. Beautiful, beautiful stuff; you've really become an artist with these vintage Rollie's.
