Dial Change

[hikaru123456]

Hi All,

I am just curious, if I were to send my rolex for a dial change at RSC, I understand that they will keep your original dial, give you the new one with charges of course and give you a serciving memo saying they change the dial blar blar blar...

But I am just wondering, will this affect the watch in any other ways like warranty or amything i did not foresee?

No.

Depends if the watch is considered vintage. For example if you replace a nipple dial on an old gmt for a service dial, it will kill the value. I did this before I new what I know now. I'm still kicking myself.

If it’s a contemporary Rolex from say 2005 until today it won’t affect anything. Because you’re referring to warranty, I’m guessing the watch is less than 5 years old. In which case it won’t affect anything, neither remaining warranty nor outgoing vakue of the watch (unless you add a more sought after dial or conversely add a less desired dial)

From what I understand, Rolex will only change dials with other types that were originally offered with that reference? For instance, they won't install an ice blue dial onto your SS black dial Daytona. I believe this is true?

I dont think they would.

That’s true.

No RSC won’t do that - lots of people have independent watchmakers who can swap a dial. The difficulty is getting a genuine one.

That’s correct, RSC will only offer you dials that were available for your specific model

True , but IF you have a source for the genuine goodies you can have some great fun with a “modular” watch like the 116519

True! but unfortunately most of us don’t have those connections

If you’re doing the dial change directly at Rolex- why would it affect the warranty?
