Day Date Model 18038

Hi , I have question is it worth to change the face dial to diamond? ( original face dial ) I found some shop selling second hand face dial with diamond with installation around $2,300. Is that mean if i bring to Rolex centre , they will think my YG DD original or not? cos I change the face dial?

The 18038 do come with diamond dial. As long as the dial is for 18038, there should not be a problem at Rolex Centre. But for that price to pay, I will look around for more options.

Consider very good condition, today went to RSC ask for servicing price.
Quote $850 including servicing n polish as well warranty 1 yrs and takes 3 weeks. I told them let me consider first cos watch still in consider good condition inside n outside.

Check the diamond dial from RSC cost $4,250 including installation
I got offer from one of the shop original taken out from DD YG 18038 asking $2,200 nett including installation. Hope to get cheaper soon but for sure not at PK....cos bought diamond bezel from them before price to expensive, anyway learn my lesson.

very nice piece!

if I were you won't bother waste money on diamond bezel, dial looks nice enough.

Is it a good idea to have your DD servicing done at the 2nd hand dealer's shop at people's park? $850 for servicings ar RSC sounds like a lot!?

Servicing Rolex usually around $200-300 the most . RSC $850 i know on high side also take 3 weeks as other shop the most 1-2 days. no need to change any spare parts only some oiling i believe...and some adjustment. OK wont get the face dial in that case just leave it as is. I do have diamond bezel but wont put it up first. Leave it as original for time being cos Bling Bling enough.

Thanks to fellow member fabulous, I went to the same shop where he purchased his DD and bought a similar DD at the same price!
Very nice condition too!

when buying a 2nd hand DD always check that the bracelet is still firm.
