Question about the suc C

Hi everyone, was just wondering if I was to send my sub C in to Rolex service would they change the dial and bezel to the blue ones? I like the blue, but don't want to pay for the white gold and prefer the SS anyways. Thanks.

No way. The RSC frowns upon mods.

Not a chance. It'll cost you about $27 k to get that look

Well that's not entirely true, there is a trf member who has sourced both parts. Not sure if he went through with the mod though. From what I understand is it takes a lot of time and effort to find the rep to get the parts from rolex.

My AD is also a leading RSC. The owner is a very good friend. Bending any 'rule' is possible if you know the right people in the right places.....

Yes, gqllc was able to put a blue ceramic insert in his 116610 LN, and he found a blue gold dial too, as yet uninstalled. Do a search, multiple threads about this very issue.
