Has anyone else had this work carried out ?

Yohamy · 5 July 2020, 01:24 AM

Just read the thread. Amazing results! Can the red service dials be sourced through a Rolex ad? I have sort of the same issue, mine has been relumed, and the colour on the lume plots just ain’t right. Thanks for posting!

Great story. Great watch. Beautiful watch. I hope you enjoy it and don’t worry about negativity. It’s all Rolex and beautiful!

In the beginning of the thread the OP stated RSC had to send the original dial to Geneva to authenticate it before releasing a new service replacement.

What on awesome story, your perseverance really paid off! A luminova dial without WGS and red submariner text is just nuts.

AJMarcus · 20 September 2020, 10:30 PM

Outstanding. You did well to persevere!

brandrea · 20 September 2020, 10:36 PM

Missed this original post ... it’s really awesome that Rolex still has these service dials all these years later

Enjoy it Merle

Droggo · 21 September 2020, 04:13 AM

how much did the service cost?

tekno · 22 September 2020, 06:08 AM

The watch looks great - this is a cool post. I’m very happy for you!

I think it’s pretty cool they used a red dial, weren’t some swapped with white dials at some point?

I checked the "Post Your Rolex Red Sub Dial Pic and Serial#: Reference List" thread and none of the watches are like yours. Are the dials really that rare?

tekno · 23 September 2020, 02:15 AM

He has a service dial.

did they polish the case as that is the last thing you want done to a vintage piece

They are not very common. You have to send in your original red dial to get the service red dial.

How is your project coming along?

Droggo · 25 September 2020, 01:43 AM

did they charge extra for the new dial/face or was it part of the service.

Filipão · 25 September 2020, 01:48 AM

Rolex charges for EVERY part not included in basic servicing.

Looks awesome!

The watch looks amazing with a good dial, it’s nice to know that the wait was Worth it, and the amount spent won’t be a problem at this point since you got what you wanted....wear well.
