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.
