I have a Dj with the grey tapestry dial. I thinking of replacing on the dial with a different color. What color would you recommend? I'm thinking black.

chicagowatchman · 9 March 2020, 06:18 AM

Black is awesome!

Porscheconvert · 9 March 2020, 06:21 AM

How do you do this? Through AD? What do they charge?

Abmatt2002 · 9 March 2020, 07:13 AM

Id get the blue dial.

Through an AD to retain warranty, and yes they do charge.

Upgrade is a funny word that I often find means downgrade.

Gray tapestry sounds like a wonderful dial?

Let’s see a pic.

I agree.

Can we see some pictures of the Grey tapestry dial.

upgrade? you can always buy dials and swap

miamiclay · 9 March 2020, 09:19 AM

Idk about DJs, but on DDs, the gray/slate tapestry dial seems pretty rare - I’ve had my eye out for one for a while now. If they are similarly uncommon on DJs, I might recommend that you acquire a dial and have this done by an independent (if at all) rather than RSC, so you can retain your dial.

If you want to radically change it up, I think the no-markers stone DJ dials are super clean and sharp looking (especially tiger eye and malachite).

Let me know what you think? I am thinking of getting a DD WG in white dial roman. Perhaps I should leave it alone. However I dunno what I am doing to do with 2 watches that are similar. I do like the the president bracelet that is why I am considering getting a 118239.

dolceman81 · 9 March 2020, 10:16 AM

There is no scratch on the crystal FYI.

brandrea · 9 March 2020, 10:23 AM

Gee I dunno, I like the dial you already have

jrs146 · 9 March 2020, 10:26 AM

I’d keep it as is. That’s a great dial!

Agreed. Very classy and distinctive.

dolceman81 · 9 March 2020, 11:08 AM

That's guys for liking the dial! I find it dated but I'll leave it and try to find a 118239 in WG.

Porscheconvert · 9 March 2020, 11:14 AM

I'm looking to change my Wimbledon dial out to white Roman as well. First ad said they couldn't do that as watch has to be out of warranty

Porscheconvert · 14 March 2020, 07:12 AM

I just called the RSC and they said they can change dial out, but only with basic stick colors (blue, white, or black). Such a bummer...I will be selling mine. Let me know if anyone's interested!

I had a 16220 DJ exactly like that one! It was my first Rolex bought in my mid 20's.

Nikrnic · 14 March 2020, 08:41 AM

I have an SS DJ41 with the slate roman (wimbledon) dial and love it. My second choice is the black dial for a GADA piece.

That's a classic I don't know if I would change it but blue DJ dials are beautiful.

Nice watch.
As others have suggested, purchase a second dial and keep the original. May cost a bit more in the short term, but I think you will be happier in the long run.

Post another pic if you go ahead with the dial swap.

Good luck!

Singslinger · 14 March 2020, 10:20 AM

I believe Rolex will change dials only if the new dial that you want was originally an option when the watch was first purchased.

I learned this when I serviced my 12-year old Milgauss GV and asked if I could swap dials to new blue dial and they said I couldn't.

However, I also serviced my 8-year old, Datejust 41 recently and managed to change the silver stick dial to the blue stick version.

Mr. K · 14 March 2020, 10:22 AM

Grey tapestry is a premium specialty dial. If you change. Keep the old one.

I actually really like the way it is! Plus DD for sure is very different from DJ, i would keep both~

Good Luck!

That's what my ad said too. This isn't accurate as I called yesterday to change Wimbledon to white with Roman (was an option when i bought mine). They said not an option...only sticks.

The Blue Azzuro Roman Dial is unbelievable when you see it in person.
