Replace Dial on Stainless Datejust

Hello all,

Searched for this and didn't find anything.

I have a 2006 Stainless Steel Datejust with teeny tiny scratch on the dial (metal inside).

When I first got the watch, I dropped it and shattered the crystal. The shop repaired the crystal but didn't tell me about the dial.

What is the least expensive way to repair/replaced this?

I would send it in to RSC. They will take care of it for a charge of course.

Find a dial on eBay and have your local watchmaker slap it in. That is your cheapest option. I'd hate to think what Rolex would charge.

AD charged me a bit over $300 for a new sub dial. Since the movement was exposed they wanted to service it but I was able get the job down without this...

I had tried dials on Ebay but they just aren't as nice as a fresh one from Rolex.

I agree, I did this very thing. Got a mint dial and had it put in for not much cost by local watchmaker, turned out great.

I agree, I have bought 8-9 dials on Ebay, just buy the seller first
