Welcome to TRF

Any authorized Rolex dealer can order the dial and install it for you. The old dial stays with them. If that isn't OK, then you must do some searching on the TRF classifieds and/or eBay.

This sounds like a good thing to do. If you want to keep your champagne dial however you should buy one from a grey dealer (perhaps you'd like to try one of the many good ones that sell here) and ask an independant watchmaker to install it for you.

thanks for the Welcome & Reply!
i'll be positing pics soon.
i wouldnt want rolex to take my dial, i would rather buy an extra 1 or 2. and every so often change em for a diff look.
ive noticed ive seen alot of dials that look aftermarket. with the "stones" inside not starting beside the date, alittle below and not FLUSHED to the lining going around bezel

Thanks for reply & Welcome.
i'll be posting pictures soon!

also, i wouldnt want to trade my previous dial in.
i'd love to purchase a dial or 2 to have to swap whenever i want
i cant seem to find where to buy
i found a few locally "miami" but the stones inside placement are not where authentic ones are

i notice they are a little below the "saturday-date" instead of starting beside the box. its not flushed to the black lines going around bezel
