AD told me I Rolex will only let me trade up for new dial

[christo]

Was at the mall and stopped at AD. I have a TT Daytona w/champagne dial. I asked if I could buy a panda dial. She checked with Rolex and called me the next day. Told me Rolex would only let me trade up to a diamond dial and Rolex would keep my current dial. Said Rolex won't let me trade for a different dial that does come on my watch. Is that true? Thanks.

Yeah supposedly that's what I'm told. Rolex won't give you a dial that doesn't come as an option for the type of watch you have. There is the option the buy the dial in the grey market and have someone change the dial out for you. However I dont know how reliable the dial market is and you will definitely need someone who knows what they're doing when swapping dials.

In the USA its mostly true where Rolex are a bit of dictator,myself believe as long as you buy the genuine Rolex part.Then you should be able to do anything you like to your bought and paid for watch as long as it don't interfere with normal service.But these types of dials are on hight cost precious metal models that Rolex would like to sell you instead of just a dial.
