Possible to swap arabic blue dial on day date?

[tally]

Hello,

New to the forum.

Searched on the site and online for the answer to my question but couldnt find anything.

Is it possible to put an arabic blue day date dial into a non arabic day date watch??



In case i haven't explained this well....

I want to buy a regular day date 40 platinum watch:




then purchase the blue arabic dial only:



can i swap the dials??


thanks

Welcome. I don’t see why a skilled watchmaker can’t..

Why don’t you just purchase the Arabic dial then?

If you sent it back to Rolex and asked to purchase the Arabic dial and have them install it, then I don’t see why they wouldn’t. As for them selling you just the dial, I have no idea if this is possible

I didnt know this was even possible.

i thought i would be forced to acquire the arabic dial from a 3rd party.

had no idea i could transfer a dial straight from rolex.

how do i go about doing this?
Is there a catalogue? A phone number? a website?

What kind of prices do you expect for a dial when swapping with Rolex?

platinum blue arabic version of day date is around $75k

platinum blue non arabic is around $50k

Good luck finding one , the dial itself if found original would run you up $30k if mint. the problem is its limited edition production to middle east and near impossible to get one as a full set watch , now imagine as a dial .

Seriously? 25k premium just for that dial! Insanity!

I’m assuming you’re purchasing from Gray market. See if you can purchase from an AD with the dial you want. BOL!

thats dampened my hopes :-(

any chance what boogiebot said could work??
or is it proper limited edition and there's no chance to get one swapped by rolex?

I have no idea if this is possible. Try calling one of the Rolex RSC Centers and talking with someone. If you don’t ask you never know.

has to be grey market.

the arabic is impossible to get in an AD. was only available in the MENA market and that was years ago.

Sorry no help. I wish I knew. Ask your AD first. It used to be easy, I had ADs switch my Date Just dials years ago for $150 and I kept the original dial.
