Changing Dials on my AP ROC 26320st
Hey all,
I recently purchased an AP ROC 26320st with the black dial. I'd like to know if it's possible to swap my black dial, with the factory white dial. Could I send the watch to AP and have them make this swamp? Would experts on this forum discourage this? I can't see how this would bring the value of my piece down, as the 26320st is a universal ref # for both black and white dials. Other than cost, are there any negative "side effects' to swapping on these dials? Thanks, BostonRolex IG: pcakes508 |

Never seen a dial swap on the new ROC but i think its possible but you need new hands and a date disk if you replace it

Have you considered just flipping it for the white dial?
May be easier (and cheaper - not sure on how much a dial et all will cost)... Just a thought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A call to Clearwater will give you a definitive answer. Otherwise, selling or maybe even trading could work.

I would not change out dials (and doubt AP will do that either). Just sell it and get a new one...yes you will lose some $, but cost of getting exactly what you want.

I remember a member asked and price was reasonable, around $700-1000, but AP keep the old dial.

Agree with Paul. Better off flipping.

The Dubai Mall's AP Boutique said that they regularly sell dials. Speak to Carrie at the AP Boutique and ask her about the dial swap. She said its quite common for people to swap dials. In the end I eventually decided not to swap my white dial for a black dial. Decided I was happier with the white dial. |
