Anyone know if RSC in NY will do Dial Replacement?

Will RSC in NYC do a dial replacement [swap for change from black to white]? Nothing wrong, I just want a different dial on my DD.

Just not sure if they insist it be done via the AD or RSC directly.

Thanks!
John

I think for the dial replacement if the watch is not new they might ask that they service the watch.

I agree - they will insist on a service when a dial change is requested on a used watch, they won't just do a dial swap (even if a service is not really needed).

wait for the 5yr interval then, or pay the service charge and extend the next service another 5yrs.

This insisting on getting it serviced just for a dial swop seems like overkill to me. But maybe it's just another example of RUSA policies?

Why not have a Rolex trained AD watchmaker do the change? At least in Denmark, you can normally have dials exchanged for free within the first year after purchase. I had this done once with a DJ (swop from silver to dark blue dial) at my AD.

What I´ve heard so will RUSA only put a white dial in a watch that have it from the start.
I know it sounds strange you can change to every color except white. Just ask them.

Did you get the dial for free? Or do you mean the don´t ask for some money for the work?

You might check and see if there is a local jeweler who can change the dial for you. I have one that will change dials for $50.
