Resale will not be a problem, he has the original parts. Best of both worlds. Will definitely sell for a good price with the extra parts. Good move!

That's a nice modification with a gorgeous dial! A bit of extra contrast in the design of this dial would be nice for the longterm perhaps.
Funny, always the "make it more expensive" remarks in these kind of topics. I'm not fully aware of the exact sitation overseas but in Europe chances you meet someone in the wild that is able to tell you the exact dial differences between a 116520 and 11609 are roughly, 0,0001 percent, no matter in what kind of surroundings you hang-out. So a pretty much non-argument... |

Umm, have you seen his list of watches? Clearly, the issue is not that he can't afford the white gold version. I 100% applaud the OP's decision. It looks stunning! Years back I was heavy into the car modification scene and I guess I carry the mentality with me, because I see nothing wrong with this. Rolex watches aren't something handed down from the gods that can't ever be changed and considered with religious-like reverence. It's just a watch, people.

That's an awesome mod OP. It looks great and I'm sure it feels like a new watch.
Enjoy it!

That’s looks fantastic - cool knowing you’ve got a legitimate unique personalized watch. Just keep the old parts in case you want to sell - stating the obvious here. I love what you did with it though.

Next people will be putting brown bezels and ice-blue dials on 116520's and the comments will be saying it looks cool/amazing.
