Well, you will indeed have to exchange the slate dial when BUSA or any authorized service center swaps it out for you. At a minimum, a basic service is required along with the purchase of new dial and hands. I suppose you could consider a redial like getting a new watch at much less cost but an analogy might be having your two year old car repainted a different color. Is it really worth the effort and expense just to relieve boredom? Yes, in my opinion, uless the dial has been damaged somehow, I do think it is not wise (I didn't say dumb) to go through the process. Sell it and get something else that you really like, even if the attraction is short lived. BTW, the slate/black Evo dial is, IMHO, one of the very nicest and most attractive dials available for the Evo. Absolutely one of my two favorites, the other being the all black w/Roman's dial on the SS case. I might have opted for the Roman's had it been available when I bought mine, but probably not. This one will do just fine for me....
Best,

Might as well get my movement serviced or complete overhaul that I have been putting off. Arg
