Customizing a ladies no date
Bought my mom a ladies no date white face with 3,6,9 dial today. She hates the date but likes the Roman numerals from the date. Is it possible to get the Roman numerals put on the no date? Given then rolex does not have a Roman numeral 3? Can the 4 be reduced to 3 lol
Two other watches were bought today. One might not exactly be a rolex. Will arrive late next week. Thanks Kris |

Why not sell the watch and get her a no-date with Romans? Do it the right way. Cutting numbers and destroying 2 dials isn't the way to go about it. She doesn't like the 369 so get her the one she wants.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'd love to get the no date Roman numerals. However, she does not like the smaller flate ones that come on it. I also proposed the date with the cyclops removed. Both no goes. She is very set in her mind. I'll have to find a custom jeweller to make something up. Thx |

It exists. Just have to look around. No need for "customization". (Photo from google). |

I tried. That's the smaller flate or painted numerals she didn't like. She likes the raised (gold?) ones. |

Ah I see... I've only seen those on the ones with a date. But then again there are various dials for the oyster perpetual line, good luck on your search.
