I have sold that watch, but it does go to show that Rolex will (or did in my case) discount their prices under certain circumstances.
Here it is with the black hands, and if Rolex does the "swap" does that make it a "frankenstein" Rolex?

If Rolex does it with rolex parts meant for that watch, no. TO me frankenstein rolexes are the ones people take and add bling and ebay parts. I tend to agree with Rolex per their service receipts that it is considered a fake after such changes.
