I passed on a Sundust RG DD40 that was actual at an AD brand new and for sale. The dial just didn't do it for me. I never thought of the potential upgrade to another dial once I have owned the watch long enough so that Rolex would allow a dial swap. I didn't think this was possible until I read about guys on here having it done.

Now a RG DD40 seems pretty far out of reach for me. Just going to save my pennies, and by the time I am ready money wise, maybe they'll be available with a discount again. So for now, and the foreseeable future, I will just be sporting my group of peasant watches.

Love the RG DD. Interesting to hear about how it goes with certain skin tones. I was always under the impression that the RG looks best with “warmer” skin tones. Is that not the case?

I have tried multiple DD40 over the past week - WG, YG, RG. It seems no issues with supplies. Cases are full. No chance for Olive green dial though.

I should be picking up RG Chocolate dial with Roman numerals in a couple of days.
Will post pics when I get it.

I did indeed - chocolate, roman numerals.

And subsequently called the nearest RSC and luckily they had one olive green dial in stock. So I swapped to olive green via RSC and they let me keep the chocolate.

I was there on holiday.

So I tried:

YG: white roman, diagonal motif and champagne roman
WG: blue roman and they had other WG which I did not try
RG: sundust roman, chocolate sticks, chocolate roman and they had olive green but with diamond bezel.

There is also 12% VAT tax return.

Purchased a Day Date for my 60th birthday. Ordered in June and hoping to receive this month. Went with the YG 40mm Champagne dial with diamond markers. Researched for 3 months before coming to that decision. Classic, timeless, can wear with everything, and stunning. Rose gold is less so in my opinion.

Nice. I’m trying to swap my 2016 model
And so far been my dealer was told it would require device and abiut $500 for dial
But no mention of I’ll get the old one back.

With this kind of matters, I think it’s best to deal directly with RSC. They know much better compared to the ADs.
In my case it was also HQ for the region.
I paid 900 euro for new dial + labor.
The price was marked up by 40% because I opted to keep the old dial.

So in your case 500 USD is fair, even on the low side.
