I have the opportunity to buy a blue dial with custom Arabic numerals that I plan to put on a white dial RO. What do you guys think? Here is a photoshopped version....

If you are Middle Eastern or read Arabic, it looks very cool. If you’re not Middle Eastern, it still looks very cool.

Rolexes are customized all the time. You don’t see very many Royal Oak’s that are customized. Is this being made by AP? If not, keep the original dial.

Even with hands, it would be impossible for an English speaking person to tell the time, making the watch worthless.

That’s not true. The regular RO doesn’t even have numerals. I also speak Arabic and think the novelty of this is very cool

Is it also impossible for an English speaking person to read the time on a watch with only dots for indicies?

Not sure why this would make any difference in difficulty.

I would love to find a watch with Arabic numbers that I can afford. They make a DayDate in Platinum only

I think sarcasm?

AK797 · 13 September 2019, 09:45 PM

Is the dial OEM? If so then I would and keep the original.
