Well it depends if that model DJ11 watch you have was available with a diamond dial if not Rolex will not do it.A diamond dial from Rolex would be quite expensive not 100% sure of the price but think around £1000.

call the rolex service centre in central london for an exact quote - it is nr to greenpark if you are london based & is walk-in

i got a quote from them as i want to go from black baton to blue roman on my 116334! cost is:

- £400 for service (they only do it if you take a service)
- £328 + VAT for dial

From independent places I had quote of £530. But I would like all the white gold bezel looking like new, and I trust Rolex better than anyone to do that.

Not sure if it's the same over there but in the US you have to send Rolex your original dial in exchange... plus pay a king's ransom for the dial. Just yesterday I called my AD with the same question. I want to change the blue Roman in 16030 to a black stick. Bottom line, $570 plus my dial.

No deal.

Diamond dials normally cost c. £1000, add in the price of a service, and you're looking at about £1500

For reference, list price on the diamond dial for 116334 is £1330 + service required for fitting @ £400.

Total £1,730.

Dials go for a pittance on Ebay. I found the black dial I wanted for my 16030 and paid $78 which is on the high side for Ebay. Lots of dials with BIN prices in the $200-$300 but they never sell so make an offer.

Though I can imagine the DJII dials, certainly authentic Rolex ones, will be a fair bit rarer & more expensive given how recent the line is.
