Our custom parts have always been a huge hit amongst horological enthusiasts and fanatics who seek their own bespoke Rolex timepiece. The most fun, intriguing, and mesmerising concepts come through the use of the dial. In stock here at Time 4 Diamonds, we have some of the best custom dials.
Arabic Dial
Firstly, it is important to understand that there are two different types of Arabic dials: Western Arabic and Eastern Arabic.
Western Arabic numerals are the conventional digits of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which were introduced to Europe by Arabs in the 12th and 13th centuries, paving the way for these digits to be used worldwide. At the same time, Eastern Arabic numerals are ۰۱۲۳٤٥٦۷۸۹, predominantly used in the Middle East and some other parts of Asia.
Rolex has a history of producing Arabic dial watches with both Western and Eastern Arabic numerals. Some of the most popular Rolex models with Western Arabic dials include discontinued Daytonas and Sky-Dwellers, with the Air-King, Explorer II and 1908 Perpetual being the only three Rolex watches displaying them.
The Crown has also produced some Rolex watches with Eastern Arabic numerals; however, these are extremely rare and exclusive, only sold to those living in the Middle East and part of some past off-catalogue releases.
Regarding our customised Arabic dials, you do not have to live in the Middle East or be a VIP client, meaning that supplying an Arabic dial is much easier. Notably, we do stock dials for Rolex watches that include Western Arabic numerals, but for this list, we will be focusing on the Arabic dials with Eastern Arabic numerals because of their popularity and demand.

We have created various Eastern Arabic dials for different models, like the Daytona, Datejust, Day-Date and Milgauss. Either we take inspiration from Rolex factory watches or manufacture our own dials incorporating different colours and styles with the help of our creative design team and, of course, our artisans who bring the blueprint to life.
Rainbow Dial
Following up from our Arabic dials is our custom-set rainbow dial. This dial takes inspiration from the off-catalogue Rainbow dial produced for Rolex Daytonas, but obtaining a factory-set Rainbow Daytona is impossible, as Rolex ended production of Daytona “Rainbows” over five years ago, not to mention that off-catalogue watches are exclusively offered to their VIP clientele.
Therefore, the best alternative solution is to buy our custom-set Rainbow dial, which incorporates natural baguette-cut sapphire gemstone hour markers in the form of a rainbow pattern. Typically, our Rainbow dial is configured with a matching sapphire gemstone bezel that mirrors the rainbow pattern of the dial.

But what makes our Rainbow dial better is the fact that our masterful gemsetters can apply sapphire gemtone hour markers to any type of Rolex dial. For example, there are custom Rainbow dials available in stock or for pre-order applied to a Day-Date or Datejust.
“Who cares I’m already late” Dial
In 2016, French luxury watch customiser MAD Paris paired up with the now-closed Parisian concept store Colette to produce a limited edition of five custom Rolex Milgausses featuring an extremely creative and cool white dial that states, “Who cares I’m already late”, with the hour numerals jumbled up in a strong shade of blue.
What spiralled from this limited release was a huge demand for this watch to be created by other customisation companies like us. This is undoubtedly one of the most popular, in-demand and most produced custom dials we have ever produced, with enquiries still flowing nearly a decade later.

But not all enquiries were seeking this dial to be incorporated for the Milgauss, but instead the Datejust. In fact, the majority of our requests surrounding a custom “Who cares I’m already late” dial were to be applied to the Datejust. Currently available for pre-order, there are three different variations of this dial, all with the white background but with different options of coloured writing.
Eye of the Tiger Dial
Similar to the Rainbow dial, our Eye of the Tiger dial takes inspiration from the off-catalogue Daytona model references 116588TBR and 116589TBR. Rolex do not produce an off-catalogue version anymore, and the dial was only released part of the 1165xx generation of the Daytona, again, not to mention it was near impossible to get in the first place.
Unless you want to pay premium prices on the secondary market for the factory-set piece, the best solution is to head down the custom route.
Our Eye of the Tiger dial features diamonds that are meticulously set into a black dial that follows wave-like patterns to resemble the fur of a tiger, identical to the factory-set dial. Additionally, there are yellow gold 15, 30 and 45 numerals engraved at 3,6 and 9 o’clock, respectively, with diamond hour markers too.

- ✓Case Diameter: 40 mm
Due to the Eye of the Tiger dial being solely created for the Daytona, we typically only create this dial for Rolex’s iconic chronograph watch. An advantage is that we can customise and produce our own Eye of the Tiger dial for the new 1265xx generation of the Daytona, which is not possible through Rolex.
Pavé Diamond Dial
The final dial is our beautiful pavé diamond dial that is fit for any Rolex model. For all diamond custom set pieces, we use no lower quality than VS1 clarity and G-H colour, giving every customer a beautiful white sparkle.

Our pavé diamond dials can also be paired with extra custom parts like gemstone hour markers and Arabic numerals. Custom pavé diamond dials are incredibly popular here at Time 4 Diamonds because of the quality and finish that our artisans produce them with.
Even though these are our best and most popular custom dials, they are only a select few in our collection of custom dials. So delve into our inventory of custom dials for Rolex watches, and why not take a look at our collection of custom parts altogether featuring bezels, straps and even factory parts.
