Icon20 AD says they cannot put a White Romans on my watch

Hey! was at a AD today in Tampa to talk about buying another Dial for my 18K President, which is two weeks old "M" SN. I wanted to order a White Roman Dial. They called Rolex and found out I can only switchout the same type of dial that came on the watch originally IE: Black,Blue,Silver White With bold Stick markers, Since my watch came with the Champanige Dial with the bold stick markers. They will not let me get the White Dial with Romans! Is this true Bill

Hi Bill.

Unfortunately it´s true if you are in US.

RUSA have more power than god.

Of course your AD cannot put white Romans on your watch!

How should there be space enough for several white Italian citizens on your tiny watch??

Besides that, I don't think even a sapphire crystal can take that kind of abuse!

I'll swap you mine for a GMT II YG. but only if it has a black dial.

Seriously Bill,

Rolex RUSA wont do it neither would Rolex Australia - you might need to trust a watchmaker who resides outside the square or in this case the 'crown'.

You will LOVE that dial!

It's a dial you will never get tired of looking at. SO classic!
