Very nice! Did you own those two watches or did you own one platinum DD 36 with those two dials and extra hands?

Hi this is same watch and I replaced the original glacier blue dial to red dial at RSC Centre. I owned both dial as RSC return the diamond glacier dial to me.

I am longer owning this watch and it is with my dear friend now :). I traded it for his other watch. I still miss it sometimes

Cheers

Thanks! Love the cherry dial. When did you change out the dial? Is it standard protocol that Rolex will switch out the original dial and let you keep it? I hope Rolex comes out with the Arabic wave dial for the 40. I would love to have both dials for it.

FML, Platinum DD is my grail watch..maybe with some luck one day... but Damnnn it looks amazing, didnt know that that is a factory dial, very unique!

Do any one know where i can lurk for unique factory dials?

Amazing cherry dial! I don’t know if it was you or someone else recently teasing with those cherry dial pics but they were a big factor in my decision! Sharp!

Hi glad to like the cherry dial. Where did you see the pictures? I owned it but already traded it away to my dear friend :). The red cherry dial is quite rare and you don’t see often

I think you can put up request to RSC for new dial, they will access the watch if the movement require service at the same time, if yes they will perform the movement service and dial change at the same time.

In my case since my original dial is diamond glacier blue, that’s why they return to me. Otherwise RSC will keep it

Never been a fan of the Day-date dial design but got to say wow and the first Day-date dial watch I've seen that I like. Congratulations.

I saw this exact model at a grey a few years ago. I was immediately... sold! Price was right. Bam!


Could not get it over my hand and on to my wrist as the salesman stood watching and almost praying. Missing at least one link but more likely two.



Who the F has a platinum Day Date and throws away links!!?

No wonder the price was so right.
