$500 to switch a dial?! I can switch one in under ten minutes, check the gasket and waterproof test it in another 10min... Seems like a steep price for an easy job.

The white dial looks great though

I believe that included buying the dial. Also since it is a 16013 I believe a new plexi crystal and seals are called for; yes, no??

Tapestry dial, by a mile. It completes the classic look of the watch and also, I am not a fan of arabic numerals on Datejusts. Love the Jubilee dial though.

That makes sense, dial + new seals and perhaps a new crystal will set you back several hundred.

Tapestry dial and it isn't even close.

I've always liked the jubilee dial. I wish it had been used on other models too.

That white dial is really nice.

It was, on the DD too.

Again thanks for affirmations and discussion all. I'm fond of it as it is now; I like it much better. It's back to being a classic. Strange about the dial how it becomes different colors in different lighting situations some times looking silver, gold, and white.
