Dial swap question
For those that have swapped their dials during service, I had a question.
Let's say you has bought the Bluesy with the gold lettering, but 10 years from now you sent the watch in for a service and asked to get a new dial. Would they put in a dial again with the gold lettering or whatever Bluesy dial is the most current one? |

If they don't have originals you'll get a service dial. Precisely what that will comprise is anybody's guess.

Sorry, I'm a little confused: Wasn't the 11 series gold lettering for its entire run, while the 12 series has had white since introduction? Assuming that remains the case for the latter, wouldn't any 11 series receiving a new dial get gold lettering, while any 12 receiving same would get white? No reason to believe that Rolex would change the colors for service dials from the originals.

The old Gold dial is 40mm and the new white dial is 41mm. I would be hugely suprised if the 40mm service dials got white writing on them

You’ll get the same dial you currently have or a service dial which you don’t want.
They will never put a dial reserved for the 41mm 126xxx reference in a 40mm 116xxx reference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is all good info, thank you all!
Is there a way to avoid getting a service dial, or is it completely random by RSC when asking for a new dial? |

If you have a "11" series, which was gold lettering its entire run, then I see no reason that Rolex would produce anything different for replacement dials. |
