You would. Is it moral to do this? Ku says, "To my mind, if I had a damaged but good dial and swapped it out for a watch in the correct serial-number range, then you'd have a much better watch." Because 90% of the value lies in the dial."

How can you be sure that your dial is authentic?

Take the dial off your watch to ensure that it is a Singer dial and that the details, printing and stepped minute track all match.

Seeing Red

This is one of Southeast Asia's most famous cautionary stories. The head of one Singapore's oldest family-owned retail stores told me this story. He had helped his best client acquire a Philippe Dufour Grande et Petite Sonnerie. The first wristwatch that can play time by passing, either by striking the hour on the hour and the minutes on the minutes in the grande-sonnerie or the quarters only on the quarters when in the petite-sonnerie. Dufour's watch is probably the last high-complication timepiece made today in an artisanal manner,Patek Philippe Replica without using computerized programs or a large number of CNC-machined components. Dufour sawed out and finished each component by hand in his tiny house in Le Sentier. He would occasionally light his pipe while he worked.
