Face change

Hi there, haven't been around much lately, but see that all on the TRF are still up to the usual shenanigans.
I was wearing my TT datejust the other day (usually wear my Subdate) & thought that it might look better, and updated, if I changed the face from gold to white. Anyone know if you can buy just a face, without sending it away to Rolex, etc.? I have a great local watchmaker that could swap out faces, if I could find one. Thanks, gha

You would have to go to a non RSC USA Service watchmaker.

I know there is one in Chicago and San Francisco i have seen posts about.

Youa re able to buy dials....but deal with a reputable house if you don't want an aftermarket or fake.

Thank's chicagowatchman........Chicago, what a great city....Carson's Ribs still there?
I think that I visited about 25 different clubs on Rush St one Sat night, having a tiny little "sampler" beer in each one.....Then there's always the smokin' Haymarket @ the Conrad Hilton..........& the Pizza.....Fantastic place

Talk too TempoKing, he got me a black Daytona dial, but where in Canada are you?

My AD in Toronto can swap it out, problem is Rolex Canada would want the old one back.
