FYI serial number is visible in the last pic if that’s of concern to you

Thank you! Didn’t catch that, thanks, but I don’t think I can edit the post to delete the shot?

Couldn’t agree more, it just works so well. Didn’t even know this existed until this week!

Looks great! I’ve considered swapping my current dial for the one with diamonds. Of course the diamond dial is ‘pricey’ plus RSC keeps the original.
Can you post more pics in the sunlight? Congrats

Great looking piece. I have the traditional dial. Not many of the diamond dials around. Congrats!

Will try to get some more shots this weekend.
What did they quote you to replace with the diamond dial?

Hi Ryan, they quoted me $3500 with them keeping the original dial. I think their quote also included a service.

Seems pretty reasonable considering. I didn’t realize they would swap the dial and make it a non-factory configuration.

They are incredibly subtle, part of the reason I think it works so well on this dial.

Thank you! Great to see yours in the wild, thanks for sharing pics. You wouldn’t happen to know what years this reference was produced would you?

mine is a V series and so that goes back aways. Not sure when they DC'd the diamond dial but to me it adds pizzazz without the overpowering of YG. It is the one reference I would likely never part with.
