They will not change the dial as it will create a whole new watch effectively - but it would appear several people have changed the date wheel recently to match the dial colour - something I think works much better.

I also cannot wait to see it

Should be a quick turnaround time as the new CEO Xavier Nolot requested my piece to be sent in to have the case looked at , he said it will be quick
