Dial/hand swap for 116520 around NJ

Hi, I have a 116520 and am looking to get the dial/hands swapped out for a new look. Is there someone in the NJ area that is reputable and can do this at a reasonable price? Thanks!

Im not a fan of this type of mod. But to each his own. Good luck with your watchmaker search.

If you’re in the north, I’d give Leonardo’s a call. In the south, try Bernie Robbins. I’m not sure if either would do the work but those are the only two that come to mind.

Could also try Rik in Florida and Vanessa in California. Good luck.

You probably thought about this, but with pricing where it is right now you could probably get the actual white gold model with the dial you want stock for not much more than your 116520.

Worth considering the upgrade all things considered in my opinion.
