No- Authorized Service Centre will not replace parts that are not standard to the particular model.

JW does this but for selected Rolex models... heard its not bad given their experience and reputation....

[limmilo]

JW do it for PAMs?
I suppose the serials and other number labels on the solid case back cannot be engraved on the sides of the display case?

but it is possible to fit a display case on a watch case of the same size right?

I believed it will be safer if the display caseback is specially made for that particular model...

I am thinking of doing it for my Sub thou... Not sure whether it will look good on a Rolex...

Haven't seen a case swap like this before on a Pam!

It is of course possible but the Richemont wont do it for you and I am pretty sure it may have impact on the water resistance depth rating.

U have a point there, not worth the risk of comprising the water resistance.
Thanks!

Hey limmilo, I dont think so they have the exhibition caseback for PAMs.

Yes but likely to have an impact on deep sea diving but for swimming and washing of hand, it should be fine...
