Looks great. It's like you got a brand-new watch. Now the real question is, are you going to have that first scratch anxiety??

Hey guys,

Thanks for the good words!
Watch was serviced in Official Rolex Centre and yes you can swap the dial for another dial , as long as the new dial was designated and available for your model at first place.

And yes, in Rolex Greece they give you back the original dial or parts, they don't keep them.
I also replaced the glass and tachy bezel, and kept the original ones too.
Finally, they were so good that they offered to polish also the original tacky bezel that i kept.

The original tachy bezel was so well treated and polished, that i was wondering if i decided well to replace it.
They were identical (old polished and new one), the only difference is that the original tacky has (very) slightly smaller designations on it, due to the polish treatment.
But the difference would be so small that only by comparing them side by side would make it obvious.

Cheers!

Lugs looks horrifically unsymmetrical

Daytona's have asymmetrical lugs to compensate for the "weight" of the Chrono buttons.. (the right ones are thinner than the left ones).
Google it...
