Interesting frankenwatch

[Parabola]

I was bored and digging around Chrono24 looking at birth year stuff and I came across this

It's a solid gold AP RO from 1982. It was originally supplied with a quartz movement but in 2015 the movement was replaced with a new AP automatic movement from the current Royal Oak line.

Out of my price range but it seems pretty good value for what it is

So has that removed all its value for not being "original" ??

That's what I can't work out. From the pictures it looks like AP carried out the work. I'm tempted to think it should make it more valuable but I don't know the going rate for solid gold ROs from the early 80s is

I think it's 36mm which is a big part of the price.
