I went to the shop yesterday and the guy said he has the watch in the shop and he also has the White Dial / Roman Numerals, but he will need to switch the dials in the watch to the one i want. Is this ok with it being a brand new watch or should i just order a new one through the shop direct from Rolex ?

He did say that the whole thing will only take 30mins and will put me in the VIP room along with a bottle of Champagne while i wait, but still not sure to switch the dials or just order.

Thanks for any help

I'm also curious to see what our trusted TRF members think about this....

Are we talking a Rolex AD or a regular shop?

If an AD with a Rolex certified watchmaker in the back I wouldn't hesitate.

If you don't mind waiting and for peace of mind then go ahead and order it.

Will it make a difference in the future what dial is listed on the warranty card / certificate? As long as everything is factory?

If you are buying brand new and are paying the going rate then tell him you want him to order you the exact one directly from Rolex!! What's the point in having your new watch re-assembled slightly from the start when you can get one straight out of production like that. You're the customer and you have that choice!

If you order one through an AD they will most likely charge you full retail.

If there is a discount maybe, but not at full retail.

Can you imagine any AD having in stock All models with all dials..?

Just impossible even for the factory in Geneva.
Anyway..
changing a dial is as easy as A B C and does not hurt your Rolex.

Thanks so much everyone :)

TempoKing thanks mate, i was thinking i could do this anyway later on but i never want to :)

The shop that said this is Mappin & Webb, Regent St, London so a good place :) Sorry for the lack of information before :)

EDIT this are an official AD and the guy in the shop said the guy has all the right stuff from Rolex :) I said is it illegal hehe and the guy said i assure you it is not hehe :p

Thanks again, i was worried about Certificates too but as long as it all ends up legit im good to go. Ohh I never asked for discount.

Get them to give you both dials. That way you have the original one.

Did you ever ask for the discount? I have heard of 15-20% off not being unusual.
