No diamonds? €500 including placement, €550 if you need new hands as well (e.g. from roman to stick, needs lumed hands)

if the dial is offered in the same metal for the same model watch i believe there is the option?



take a daytona for example, SS black for white or white for black shouldn't be an issue BUT if for example you wanted to add a dial from gold daytona to a SS daytona the answer would be no.


i have been told from their service that patek phillippe has the same policy but they have a 1 year waiting period from the release of the new model.

You either misunderstood or they gave you incorrect information. This is something the RSC will do (and have done for some time).

And work done by the RSC does not void the warranty.

I believe they will but in my experience Rolex can be fickle about the rules sometimes depending on factors that only Rolex knows for sure.

Best to ask Rolex and be sure to be clear about your specific details. RSCNY for example can be difficult for things that other locations will not have an issue with

This is inaccurate. As long as the dial is offered in that model and metal they will change it.

I’m in line to get a white 5711, has anyone heard of PP swapping the blue dial for a white?

I seem to remember someone here stating that you could not change a white or black dial on an AP 15400 since the blue 15400ST was boutique only
