Rolex modification question

You're Saying I Can Sell?

I have a gen 14060 no dat sub which I live to the moon and back. I just recently got this itch for a 369 dial and wondering if such actually would be feasible.

Below is the look I’d like to achieve while keeping the original bezel, handset and dial so I can switch back anytime. Yes I’m aware that my Rolex would be considered as a franken haha.

Anyone here who could help with some advice? Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if that would look right. Let me see if I understand. Do you want to put a dial similar to the one in the pic on a 5 digit Sub? Its tough to mix erea. Keep it period correct. Imo.

Are the dial feet in the same location? It can be done, but I'd strongly recommend against it. Get a rep and drop the dial in it. Keep your genuine intact.

So let me see if I have this straight.....you want to get a genuine Rolex and switch to a counterfeit dial? I’m scratching my head here of that is the case as the entire goal of these counterfeits is to replace the real thing...

I agree with all said above. Although it would look cool I'd strongly suggest no messing about with your gen. It would bally affect its value and everything else about it in the green rolex world. By all means do get a good rep and drop that dial in just for the fun of it. Wear out with pride and of course post up some pics. Cheers
