replacing 1.96 dial
Kong,
I did not change the colour of the dial. The rose gold black dial watch had a defect in the original dial. The dial was exchanged with the same colour dial when it was overhauled.
I also had a rose gold silver dial 1.96. That is why I have 2 different pictures. I hope this clears up the matter.
