Thinking about getting a serti dial for my TT sub. Surprised at all the various serti dials i am encountering while researching. Leads me to ask what are genuine dial / stone combination?

Also, what should i look for when buying a dial, how can i tell if a dial is genuine Rolex?

moviefreak · 5 October 2010, 02:09 PM

Slate (with diamonds and sapphires) and Champagne are all the ones I know...

this is the slate my wife wore..

inLine4 · 5 October 2010, 03:04 PM

Champagne w/black bezel:

dwr · 5 October 2010, 03:18 PM

wow

dddrees · 5 October 2010, 04:23 PM

Yep those are the ones.

Cheers on some verry Excellent Watches guys.

Just as an FYI - Rolex refused to install a serti dial on a Submariner that didn't originally come with one when I tried to do that once. They will do the upgrade on watches like Datejusts but for some reason the dial didn't fit unless the watch originally was made for a serti dial.

Fabuloso · 6 October 2010, 12:37 PM

hadn't heard that one before, so i can not upgrade my blue TT sub with a serti dial?

Shade · 6 October 2010, 01:14 PM

Fabuloso, you technically can. You have to ask your RSC for it. Or ask a few members here such as Steve Mulholland who specializes in dials.

rangrov · 6 October 2010, 06:33 PM

I have had 2 serti dials fitted to standard TT subs over the years, the slate and the gold both with blue saphires, those are the only 2 dials rolex make, others are after market and i wouldnt touch them. The independant ADs fitted them, but make sure they are rolex qualified first, you shouldnt have a problem then......

rangrov · 6 October 2010, 06:34 PM

PS the slate with the blue kit sub was my favorite, the gold with blue just didnt look right, both were useless in the dark for telling time......

davegct · 6 October 2010, 09:06 PM

Rolex also offers a black TT sub with black serti dial - at least in the new ceramic subs.

buke45 · 6 October 2010, 09:55 PM

The new ceramic subs no longer offer the gold or slate serti dials. The new sub serti dials are black or blue with the diamonds on the hour markers.

Singslinger · 6 October 2010, 10:16 PM

I wonder if in future Rolex will offer the TT Sub in various dials other than the current blue/black with/without diamonds. I think a champagne gold dial on a black ceramic bezel Sub would look great...

rxonmymind · 6 October 2010, 11:09 PM

Wow is right. It was, for me too much wow. Beautiful watch to see it in person though.

Slightly off topic: what does "serti" mean?

I believe it is something like applied or in"sert"ed stones..

Fabuloso · 7 October 2010, 12:02 PM

what is a fair price for a genuine dial?

sparky · 7 October 2010, 12:32 PM

I don't know.. but the dial was about a $2300 upgrade I think, so who knows- maybe $600??

"Serti" means "Set" in French. Not inserted, just set as is set with stones. They are referring to the dial being set with precious stones.

She is in love with this one now.. you can say she loves "Seri" dials...

Fabuloso · 10 October 2010, 08:43 AM

traditionally does the champagne serti go with blue or black bezeled TT Sub? are there any serti on SS Subs?

thesharkfactor · 10 October 2010, 10:09 AM

you can have any combination- blue/black bezel with slate/champagne dial. but, if your asking what goes best...
slate/blue
champagne/black

id love a slate for my tt, but id need a blue bezel too!

dont hold your breath for a serti dial on the forum- ive been looking for a year and have my details with 2 of the biggest dealers.. still no cigar..
