My New DJ Dial Pics'

I bought my new TT Rose Gold DJ Last Aug. with future plans for replacing the dial with the Black Concentric Arabic #'s. Well that day came and I did have it replaced at Rolex's Service Center the other day. Total cost for the dial and installation came just shy of $600. Here are some Pics of before and after :

I loved the first dial but as long as you're happy that's what counts! Enjoy!

Both are beautiful, but I can see why the black would be more desireable as ...

far as readability is concerned.

Great choice going with the concentric!!!!!!
I have the silver and love it! I loved it in the beginning, then had some doubts, then I realized how beautiful it really is. Beautiful combination!

Check mine out

Looks great with the black dial, but isn't that an option upon the initial purchase of this timepiece?

If so, why wouldn't you have purchased it as wanted? Not being critical, but just being inquisitive.
