Rolex GMT 126710 BLRO with a white gold dial?

Anyone seen a GMT 126710 BLRO with a white gold dial (blue or meteorite)?

Yes, both. Never up close just a customer passing by in my local AD. Meteorite is impressive and really stood out. Didn’t notice the blue until my AD mentioned it.

Ok I mean the steel version 126710 but you swap the dial to a blue or meteorite from the white gold version.
That would/could be possible if you have a good relation to your AD to get the white gold dial.

Haven’t seen one on the 126710 but possible; guy in forum had swapped dials and bezels a few times with his WG Daytona

And another managed to get his long-time AD to procure a silver dial from a WG Daytona and swap it into his stainless one.

Ok! Do you know if it’s possible to order a blue or meteorite dial from AD? Or maybe they only are possible ta choose when you buy the watch new?

Technically, Rolex will not sell a dial that was not original to the watch, so your AD would have to have some way of ordering (whether using a serial # from another piece, or having the most incredible relationship with Rolex, or something else...).

Don't even bother trying for the meteorite; few dials are harder to get with the WG watch attached, let alone on their own.

Rolex will not sell you parts for a watch, they only install them on the correct reference watch. People that have manage to get parts is through third parties with Rolex parts accounts.

Why would you want the dial that never belong to that model?

Do you want to have Franken watch?

The number of people who care about “originality” of the configuration is probably far smaller than those who care about having an aesthetic to their liking.
