Dial Swap on a YG DayDate 118238

Hello all,

I currently own a YG DayDate 118238 with a champagne roman dial.

I am considering having it swapped out for a pink roman dial and shopping around for quotes.

I think that the contrast between the dial and the band would be nice.

I spoke with one jeweler and was quoted $900 plus my current dial (which I was not looking to get rid of).

Have any of you all had your dial swapped, if so, any good referrals on who to do it?

Thanks

I just had my dial swap on my 116520; work done by my private watchmen, dial purchased on the forums (brand new, factory sealed). RSC could do it for you if the dial that you want was an option on the year your DayDate was built, but they would keep the original one.

There is a seller on Ebay called firstclassdials (contact is John) which might have the dial you want available or perhaps source it for you; buying from a third party allows you to keep your current dial!
