Icon7 Need this Panda dial bad! Anyone know an AD that can do it?

I've got a tt Daytona with the champagne dial. I really want this Panda dial. (Great watch drefrank. Stole the image from you!). Anyone have an AD that will swap this Panda for my champagne dial? It appears to be difficult to get it done in the States AND they'll probably want to keep my current dial. Otherwise, I'll be in France and Barcelona in March and try to do it in Europe where it may be doable. Thanks.

Chris

Funny enough I'm picking up a Daytona with a panda dial on Saturday. They do look good don't they.

Awesome looking Dial, one of my favorites actually. BTW, why are they called a "Panda Dial"?

Chris - just saw your thread. No problem at all using the photo. I couldn't be happier with the watch - it definitely gets noticed. There are many resourceful people here on TRF. Perhaps a posting on the 'Wanting to Buy' area could help you to locate the dial. Once in hand I suspect that there are many watchmakers that would change it out for you. Best of luck with your search!! Frank
