I have made sure with the RSC that it would still be the 5-year warranty and it will have no affect on that.

Just to clarify, in terms of devalue the watch I wasn't comparing between a baguette and non-baguette version, I was asking more that since the dial has been changed and is not in the original that it came with, does it have any affect on the value of the watch?

"People who have the budget for a Platona will probably go for an original baguette version", can I please ask you what exactly you mean by this?

And thank you for your congratulations, I think its awesome as well!

as the new dial is also factory, I dont think it would affect value of the watch.

Not sourcing the dial, buying the watch with baguettes. Sorry if my post was misleading. I was curious of those who had bought the chocolate sundials but now wanting to change to the baguette dial.

Might have missed it in the thread but have you looked into just swapping the whole watch with a Grey dealer? Yours + $xxx for a new Plat with Bag.

Not sure how much a trade would be but could be worth paying the difference and getting to enjoy it much quicker and with less drama/doubt.

Ah understood.

To your question, I’ve thought about the switch just for a change of pace and variety, but I do on paper like the subdials over the non contrast subdials. Obviously all preference.

I think the delta between regular dial and diamond baguette version is larger on the grey market than going directly to RSC.

If I remember correctly it’s only ~10k more for diamond via RSC

The reference no. of both with or without baguette are the same number and if you have RSC change the dial for you, it should be the same as original.

Some ADs indicated the baguette on the warranty card some didn't, I think it depends on each country and each AD. The reference number only should be good enough.

No it wouldn’t really affect true value.

From the current grey market it actually enhances value more than the immediate cost of switching dials.

The hands are different, depending on the dial. I have the “standard” version and wouldn’t trade for the baguette (personal preference).

Buy what you like, not what is presently trending on Chrono24.

yes, the minute and hour hand are different, will RSC replace the hands also?

Overall, putting the baguette dial would not devalue the watch or anything like that. However I presume it would make it more difficult to resell if you ever wanted to, as people who have the budget for a Platona will probably go for an original baguette version if they want one.

Regarding warranty, you should clarify because your watch, being a few weeks old, has a 5-year warranty, whereas any RSC serviced watch comes with a 2-year warranty. There is a risk you many lose 3 years from your warranty; that's what I am afraid.

And before I forget, congratulations on this awesome watch!

I doubt this would be the case since the watch would have been put to the new configuration by Rolex, which means it then becomes the baguette diamond dial watch.

At $7,300, there is no way Rolex allows him to keep the original dial.
