Dial change on a skydweller

My Ad tells me that Rolex will change the dial on your watch (for no doubt an extortionate fee)

Now I'm thinking, how good that new black dial would look on a WG skydweller on bracelet!

Anyone know what the cost would be in the region of?

And would a dial change likely include the change of the underlying month wheel to red?

Feel free to photoshop away if you are blessed with the required skills :)

Well the under bits aren't part of the dial...hmmmm I bet you could get both changed tho! I love the ivory dial tho on the WG skydweller. That's still my fav. The the black definitely makes it sporty.

You'd be better off sourcing the dial and date wheel separately and getting a rolex approved independent watchmaker to change it over, that way you'll keep both dials
