Patek 3700 with replacement dial and hands

Local dealer has a 3700 with replacement dial and hands. Is that common for these early Nautilus and how significant that affects the collectibility and value of the watch? Thanks

Service dial is common and has a big impact on value. How big depends on which type of service dial. Very hard to say without picture. There are sigma service dials and that would be the most valuable one.

Service hands are less of an issue.

Thanks. I didn't take a pic but the sigma service dial looks mint, replaced in 2018.

Sigma service dials are old. If 2018 then it won’t have a sigma sign on the dial.

Original dial & hands > Service dial & hands

Premium price if everything is original to the timepiece... No service dial or hands.....

I would personally avoid...this is not collection quality imo. Get a good one, they are out there.

Get all original - if not, getting a 5711 is better imho.

Don’t do it! Must be sigma with accent over GENEVE! The replacement dial watches are still big money. Way better off putting that towards an original.
