For me original is when a watch has parts from the era when it was manufactured. I don’t appreciate the wrong dial on the wrong year or, other unwelcome mods. However, if a watch has a model specific service dial or other parts that are true to its manufacturer date but, just newer, I don’t have an issue. So, when I said 100% original, thats what I meant. :)

Period correct/service parts are far from 100% original by definition on this forum.... looks nice though

Unfortunately your thoughts are not at all in line with market values.

Service is Rolex, yes, it fits, yes, but it is not correct for the period.

Don't sell it, enjoy wearing it in good health and be happy!

It's a great piece!

I have plenty of modern watches. This is a keeper, no reason to sell it, it is my birth year, despite the alleged service parts. I guess I’m not a hardline purist at heart. I do love the watch though, even though maybe some of the parts weren’t on it while I was in diapers, the watch itself in some way was
