Changing dials on AP 26320
Is it possible to change dials on the AP 26320? If you let's say want to go from black to white or white to black.

I think it is, I remember asking about this a few years ago, think AP will do it but keep the old dial.

Well probably not in Europe or at least in France as they seem to be rather strict about any changes made to their watches, had a few problems ordering a different strap for mine, so a dial…..

I had the white dial on my RG 15300 swapped out for the black one by APSC in Clearwater for $800 and change. If I remember it correctly, it took AP 6 weeks. And they kept the original white dial. I assume if they can swap dials on the RO, they can do it on the ROC

I also had the APSC in Singapore replace the white dial of my 15300 to blue during my B1 test, 3rd year warranty extension. I'm quite positive that they would also replace the dials of the ROC's, however as stated above, they would keep the replaced dial.

They would keep the old one & charge you $800? That's a bit steap. The least they could do is give the other dial to you to keep

They will do it as long as you are not asking for a dial that is boutique exclusive (and it is a dial that can be had with the watch in original form). 26320 white / black should be fine. No idea of the cost. Not cheap I imagine.
A couple years ago I asked for a 15400 black to white and they said yes. Blue was a no go (boutique exclusive). I think you are probably better off just flipping the watch, which I did.

Does this ruin the resale of the watch? From what I understand the model number would be the same right? AP would not be changing the model number on your warranty information?

I would not do it unless I could keep the original dial. For the cost, maybe best to just flip.
