Another Dial Change questions..

[Dedot]

Hi All,

I need your advise on dial change. I'm thinking of changing my datejust dial through a local qualified watchmaker instead through RSC. From researching from the forum, it looks like a standard procedure and a qualified rolex watchmaker should be able to do it.

My question is, once the dial has been changed, what other procedures are needed to be done? Does the watchmaker need to pressure test/ reseal/ regulate etc/ clean n lubricate?? I have a 1 yr old datejust.

Thank you for reading.

If you have a 1 year old watch dial swap and watertest should be all that is needed. Be aware that if the dial is changed within the warranty period your warranty may become null and void and you may not be able to send it to Rolex for service without the original dial? JUst saying Rikki

Thanks for the response and for the heads up. I didnt think about voiding the warranty. good point

I guess, I will give it sometime till later.

From my experience, certain markets dont even have notation as to what dial combination is on the watch, this means you could effectively change the dial without anyone knowing.

Not sure how this would void the warranty if it was done by an authorised service centre.

To me (correct me if im wrong!), its like changing from OEM synthetic engine oil > mobil1 synthetic oil. you cant void your warranty, just because you used a different oil.
