President 18038 Questions
Guys,
I am contemplating purchasing a pre-loved 18038 similar to the one in the picture below. What options do I have to change out the dial? I do not love the dial shown, and would prefer something a bit more updated. What should I look out for with the 18038 model? Thanks in advance - Steve

What is the typical cost for a dial swap out including say a white roman dial ?

If you go with the white romans (my favorite) you should also replace the day and date wheels in white.

Pre-owned genuine dials $800+ New $1500+ Labor to swap by a watchmaker ~$200 RSC will cost more...
