Will rolex swap a dial on a explorer (MK1) for a lumed MK2 dial in the us.

If so, what is the est cost ?

Will they only do it with service ?

Has anyone done something like that on a OP or exp model in the lat 24months.

I don't think Rolex offers this. You'd have to go to a watch maker. Unless I'm just fully out of the loop.

A local watchmaker recently mentioned that Rolex does dial changes for c.£500 all in (we were discussing a SS sports model) but I have no independent evidence to support this

Had it done in Canada, cost me about $600 Cdn.

Your best option in the US is to source a dial and have an independent watchmaker do the swap.

I was quoted $450 for the dial and $105 for the hands and the upgrade is possible only with a dial swap.

It would be a mistake as the MK1 is becoming a collectible piece.
