Question about the Royal Oak 15300

Hello,
Is it possible to change a white dial at service to black or blue. If so do you know the aprox. cost for dial change incl. dial.

What dial colour did the first series of the 15300 initially come with???

The reason that I´m asking is that the white dial, which I do think looks great, usually is the cheapest to get on a Royal Oak 15300 on the second hand market.

The "problem" is that I have a White dial Daytona that I would like to keep like that...if you know what I mean.

Thanks and have a good day.
//Fred

Really? I don't believe I've noticed a price variance based on dial color for the RO.

i believe you can ask AP service center do to so, and the dial should cost you $550+.

AP service center in Clearwater, FL can do it

If I remember correctly, the dial is around $600 and they will not charge for instaalation if you're getting a service done.
15300 is offered in white, blue and black dial.
