Question about the suc C
Hi everyone, was just wondering if I was to send my sub C in to Rolex service would they change the dial and bezel to the blue ones? I like the blue, but don't want to pay for the white gold and prefer the SS anyways. Thanks.

No way. The RSC frowns upon mods.

Well that's not entirely true, there is a trf member who has sourced both parts. Not sure if he went through with the mod though. From what I understand is it takes a lot of time and effort to find the rep to get the parts from rolex.

My AD is also a leading RSC. The owner is a very good friend. Bending any 'rule' is possible if you know the right people in the right places.....

Yes, gqllc was able to put a blue ceramic insert in his 116610 LN, and he found a blue gold dial too, as yet uninstalled. Do a search, multiple threads about this very issue.
