I know I am going to take it on the chin with this one...but;

I am considering buying a 18K Day Date. I would like to put a different ROLEX dial in it.

Would this be a Rolex "Taboo"?

As long it is original Rolex and I guess you can do what YOU like with YOUR watch .

esm · 2 January 2010, 12:12 AM

do whatever you want as long as it is the genuine rolex dial.

As far as i know, dial change on DJ/DD is very common :-)

CoopJr · 2 January 2010, 12:14 AM

I concur with Tristan and Eric...just make sure that it's 100% genuine.

AWATCH · 2 January 2010, 12:22 AM

I think everyone will say the same thing, it is your watch do as you like, keep it genuine and enjoy it.

InVision · 2 January 2010, 01:02 AM

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure I was not off base.

Thx,

Mike

Obviously keep your parts in the event you ever sell the watch...

You *might* have some 'splaining to do should you get into it with a fellow WIS, but that would be a fun chat to have!

Do not put on one of JJ's dials.

Sonny Crockett · 2 January 2010, 04:26 AM

I had a blue Submariner a put the serti dial on it ( Rolex ) wore it that way for 2 years when I decided to sell it I simply put the original dial on and sold it with box, papers, etc.. I then sold the serti dial by itself. Do it but keep the original for authenticity of documentation...

OMG !!!

I want to purchase a DD Meteorite Diamond Dial. Does anyone sell them? Do I have to order thru AD? Thx,

Gees I can't stop looking at that dial. Is it called Zebra or what?

No -absolutely- way......

I am obsessed to find this dial : http://www.rolexforums.com/showpost....3&postcount=95 (from WG Daytona), and put it in my SS Daytona.

Agree that you can do what you want as it is your watch. Just keep the original dial and you are set to change back to stock at anytime.

It is called FUGLY

I changed the dial on my DD, thought I may be able to save a bit by buying the dial from a non AD dealer, but mark my words there is a lot of tat out there. There are so many after market dials knocking around, and to the untrained eye quite had to spot. I ended up going to my AD, I paid over the odds but I was very happy with the result as it was all 100% Rolex. Go to your local Rolex dealer!

On the back of my Rolex dial is markings that make it authentic, is that the same with all authentic Rolex dials?
