I would say buy the watch and enjoy it. Continue to read here on the forum for another month or so. This will help you realize it is not easy to mod. You will screw things up as everyone has done. Then if you still want to change the dial , you can attempt yourself or have someone else do it for you. Don't be in a rush, enjoy the forum and the hobby and have fun. Welcome!
