So my question for the group -- If you owned a good Skipper dial, wouldn't it be relatively easy to find a Carrera donor; have the movement tweaked (for 15 minute recorder); paint the chronograph second hand; and off you go?

Seems unlikely to me that someone pays $30,000 for these donor parts.

What am I missing?
