Replacement dial question

Lets say you have the dark blue dial on the sub and you send it in for service and the dial needs to be replaced. Would they replace it with another deep blue dial or with a newer baby blue one?

RSC would probably fit the watch with the "newest updated part", so that would be the "Baby Blue" dial

But I guess RSC will have the OLD, dark blue dial, too, so I would ask RSC to have the old one fitted if that is the one you prefer.

That would really annoy me since that's taking away the whole reason on getting a TT Blue. I've seen the new blue dial in person and don't like it one bit.

I completely agree. The darker almost purpleish older blue dial is stunning and mesmorizing.

The new one is bland and boring to me.

I agree...looks more like "Deep Purple" then "Royal Blue"

I love my older purple/blue sub and would not want to exchange it especially for a 'baby-blue"
