Lol if you can buy a complete 5517 for less than $150k you'll be doing well .... Might need to review the savings plan !!

But be warned if you do and it's before ken gets one you may not make it home with it :-)

If ever in the realm of possibility, I would love to acquire a Space Dweller or Star Dial Moonphase.

Why would you want an expensive Daytona with a fake dial? The real ones are much nicer!! Trust me or check my posts on vintage leather straps and see for yourself as I posted my two PN's.

Simply because I think it looks stunning, and for sure there is a lot of controversy if its a singer or a real rolex dial... Here it is

Why wouldn't you want a real PN that looks same but is real with no issues? Just makes no sense to me. But to each his own.....
