Datejust 31mm WG fluted bezel jubilee bracelet with pink diamond dial

[joroz001]

I am looking for this specific watch my wife likes but we have been unable to find in any AD we have looked. They all claim to be able to source it directly from the factory but I am starting to think it doesn't exist.

The watch is a Datejust 31mm WG fluted bezel jubilee bracelet with pink diamond dial (reference: 178274). I have seen an older one online with the salmon diamond dial but it doesn't look as nice. Here is the closest I have been able to find, it is currently for sale on this forum.



Any help would be appreciated. Is there anywhere I can find photos of the full Rolex line, I think their website does not have all the dial options.

I don´t understand the problem.

Of course it exists, there is both a pink diamond and a pink MOP diamond dial available. Your AD can order a new watch for your wife or just order the desired dial and do a swap if he has a 178274 in stock.

If they swap, would it still be considered original from the factory? Wouldn't I have issues with the RSC?

No, it wouldn't....so yes, it's possible RSC will hassle you.

Why should there be any issues with RSC? You buy a brand new watch at the AD and the watchmaker at your AD swaps the dial to one of your choice that´s available from the dial catalogue for this reference.

I did exactly the same thing in January with a 178274 and my AD swapped a black diamond dial that the watch originally came with to a blue diamond dial he ordered directly from Rolex for me.

Oops, overlooked it was at an AD. You should be good.

I DO know that if you swap a factory dial (even if it's a different color factory dial) without getting the paperwork straightened out via Rolex official 'channels'....you WILL be hassled.

just tell AD to order it and then buy it
