Daytona Dial Swap
Discussion
I tried the AD who had two staff members give very different answers on this.
I have a RG on leather Daytona, with an ivory dial. I want to change it to another dial that was available on the watch at the time I purchased it. The Rose Gold dial.
One said it could be done, the other said not allowed on the Daytona. The latter gave a semi-ludicrous excuse that people buy used and then swap the dial for a more in-fashion colour and then sell at the new inflated price.
I could see that being true if I bought an old full gold Daytona and then asked for the new green dial, but not for a dial swap for one that was available on the same watch in the market.
Has anyone done this?
I'm waiting on them to call Rolex to clarify....cant imagine they are rushing to it.

I bought my Daytona, used, from https://www.miltonaires.com/product-category/rolex...
so I’d give them a call. I’ve no idea if they’d freely dish out advice, but I doubt they’ve much else to do with their time at the moment.

They used to do a lot of this, but not so much any more. They won’t even sell you a bracelet (for example) if your model only comes on rubber, or sell you the jubilee if yours came on an oyster.
Don’t think you will have any luck doing it officially, but you could probably source a dial and have it done privately. Just couldn’t send it to Rolex for servicing because they would swap it out.

In 2016 I bought a Sub bracelet on it’s own, I guess that can’t be done now!Don’t think you will have any luck doing it officially, but you could probably source a dial and have it done privately. Just couldn’t send it to Rolex for servicing because they would swap it out.
