sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I couldn't find using search.
I believe you can do a dial color change via Rolex for about $300 but options are limited to stick dial and three colors - blue, black, white?
Is that right?
thanks

Last time I checked with an AD about replacing the dial on my Air King - the quoted cost was $520.

I have a silver stick dial - so I know at least that is available.

Someone here will post all the available Air King dials

Here's what the current catalog shows:

blue arab is amazing! I just bought one last weekend. The air king is the most undervalued watch in the oyster perpetual line.

The wifey wears this one as a "big" watch for her...love looking at it.

thanks for all your replies
I recall being told there is a program for swapping your dial with limited color options....so all the options that you may have when you're buying your watch aren't included in this program
I don't think I'm ready for a change yet but I have found my salmon color dial harder to read than I anticipated
The blue dial is pretty....not sure whether it's as neutral for an everyday watch though
Mickeyl, does your wife wear her blue one all the time?

You are probably recalling the same question you posted in February: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=162896

Why is there no black arabic dial? I agree that blue looks best.

in case anyone is interested, I called Rolex in NY and they told me the options for Air King are blue, black and I think white
but you cannot do the dial change unless you're having a full service....so for someone like me whose watch is relatively new, I'd need to wait for 5 years or whenever I send it for service....sending it for regulation unter wty doesn't qualify
