15300 dial swap

Been thinking about swapping the dial from white to black on my 15300OR for a while now.

I’ve contacted APSC for a quote but they have said they are unable to give me a price until one of their watchmakers has had a look at the watch.

I don’t want to send the watch in for a service yet unless I’m getting a dial swap.

Has anyone had a dial swap done before? If so how much was it?

It was 800 for the dial the last I checked (for the 15400). It was already being serviced, so there was no quote for the actual labor.

General question...can you do a dial swap with any current production model with the same size case? I assume you cannot do it with a limited edition (exchange for a blue dial, for example)....

Wonder if you can do this with the current 44mm novelties? For example swap the titanium dial for the ceramic dial?

I think the watch needs to be 2/3 years old for them to do a swap. No idea why
