New Daytona Dial Swap??

I've just bought a brand new with factory stickers White Daytona - the warranty card dated December 2013 is from a USA Rolex AD.

I live in the UK but wondered if I went through my local AD in England, would they arrange a free swap to the black dial for me?

There would be a charge to swap the dial, also if you have a USA warranty card the dial colour is listed on it whereas its not on the uk card so I dont know how that would work using the UK RSC. But if you get an RSC worksheet showing change should be fine... You will lose the white dial though.... Hope this helps...

Thanks for that, I'm probably better off sourcing a black dial getting my watchmaker switch it and keeping the white too then? I'm also looking to buy a panda dial.

That's the best route.

Not too hard to find.

Don't you already have a black & have the white for sale as stated in the other thread?

Yes I have both but the black is 4 years old the white is brand new, ideally it would be the other way round.

It isn't so I'm considering keeping the new one and swapping the dial for black and selling the 2010 black so I have the brand new watch

I don't think Rolex allows any modifications to its watches. It
Has to be done by third part. Please let me know if otherwise
