My boss has a black dial Evolution on black stitched leather and it looks just fantastic. So much so that I am thinking of selling my bracelet and changing the dial.

I am however hesitant as I am not aware how much that would cost, and if the dial change would compromise the watch in any way.

Has any one done anything similar or know how much it would cost?

Driver8 looked into it with Breitling for a Legende and they wanted in excess of GBP600. They will of course also insist on a full service. No risk to the watch, but not a cheap undertaking!

If you can find genuine dials (they are on eBay occasionally) then any competent watchmaker can do it, but you will need some genuine Breitling parts - hands for example.

Altair, yes the only possible damage is to your wallet!
