Cool!

It's your watch, and you can pimp it however you like. I customized my 69 -Date- Ref:1500, with a Diamond Bezel set, and it looks brilliant. However, this is a watch that I plan to keep, and pass on to a family member. I don't encourage altering any Rolex watches.

Don't DO IT! In six months you will say, "What was I thinking"?

Well, TRF members do tend to be traditionalists. I for one wouldn't do it, I think it wouldn't befit an elegent watch like a Date. If it's what you want, then go for it - just don't expect to be able to sell it in the future

Brenngun · 12 May 2010, 07:17 AM

There is a way to have both. Leave the original alone and find a used dial you can trick out to any color you like. Have it installed but keep the original dial in storage as I believe you will be needing it sooner than you think.

gjz · 12 May 2010, 07:30 AM

that last is what i am leaning towards now that way when, and if i do want to sell i can have to put back original

Yes, but do post pics before you go.

hooliganhooker · 12 May 2010, 09:26 AM

Dude, it's your watch and you can do what you want. But why not get a junk watch and destroy it.

Would you do this?
