I bought a used dial and will have a local watchmaker replace the dial. Total cost should be about $350.
This was a used watch I bought, and it may be a bit more complicated with a new watch. I don't know if Rolex or a local watchmaker would have a problem with a non-factory watchmaker working on a watch that is under warranty. Your best bet would be to find an AD with their own watchmaker who will swap the dial without a service.
I opted to get a used dial because I didn't want to spend the $400 (and Rolex keeps the old dial). I checked with Steve Mulholland on the forum, but he didn't have the dial I wanted. I finally found a dial on eBay, but I'm taking a chance that it could be a fake.
