Aftermarket Dial Install?

I know most ppl will only use Genuine Rolex parts and urge others to do so as well. However, in my case, I got bought a mens DJ off a friend who was needing money. It has a MOP dial on it already and he gave me a dark blue diamond dial also. I would like to get the blue installed but no one around my area will do it. Either they can't or wont do aftermarket installs. Looking for recommendation for a reputable shop that I can send it to and have it done. Thanks

You can always send it to Rikki in Florida.

Any watchmaker can change your dial, however, a Rolex watchmaker will not to ensure he can keep his parts account..

Find a shop that isn't tied to Rolex.
