So I was looking online and found what seems to be a decent deal on a Tudor Tiger (the closest thing to a Daytona I may ever find..) and was wondering how difficult it would be to do a dial swap. I have read a little bit about this with Rolex, but if I took a Tudor watch to the RSC would they allow me to choose a new dial? The watch I found has a black dial with numerical markers and I would prefer a white dial with stick markers.

Please post a pic! How recent is it? If it's a Tudor "Big Block" chronograph, its worth a fortune and you should leave it original! Otherwise, Rolex is pretty strict with dial swaps on sports models. They do allow it mostly on Date-Justs, but only original variations of the same model. But I don't know if they'd do it on a Tudor. Probably better to source it yourself and have an independent watchmaker do it...

Arabic markers were only on the 792x0 series.

Keep in mind the correct hands are silver on a black dial and gunmetal on white /silver dials.

Probably best to find the exact watch vs swapping parts, these are not rare pieces.
