I was just chatting to my AD the other day and it cropped up about how I'd like the SS Montbrillant Legende if it had the dial from the TT versions. (The only difference is that all the TT dials have gold baton markers instead of the silver on the SS models, EVEN THOUGH both models have gold hands. To me it would look so much nicer if the hands matched the baton markers.......).
Anyway, my AD said, "Lets give them a call and see if they'd put the black dial from TT in an SS case". As I say, the ONLY difference is the colour of the baton markers. The rest of the dial is identical. Guess what the response was.....
.... a resounding and categoric "NO". Why????
Yes I know it has to do with model numbers, and not being a "standard model", etc, but when you consider that they are more than prepared to throw layers and layers of diamonds on some of those hideous "Diamondworks" pieces (and so create a totally unique watch), you have to ask why they wouldn't do a simple dial change for another in the same model range.
I'm pretty sure that if I was a celebrity millionaire they'd be falling over themselves to do it.
