AP 5402 A series - service dial?

[Jorssen]

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking at a 5402 A series, but it has a service dial.
I honestly don't mind but I'm wondering about the influence on it's value.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

It absolutely tanks the value.... especially on an A series since the original early A series has a different dial configuration from later models (b,c,d)

For b c d series it not much of a difference service dial or not. But an A series with service dial would be priced around a C series in mint condition.

Yes, that's what I would pay as well.
If it's priced correctly I don't mind an early service dial on an A-series.
