White dial daytona 116520 is nicer then black. Also abit diff from the other rolex sports models

I went for the white 116520.

as most fellow forum bro only talk about the blk or white dial,i personally love my meteorite dial with red hand as the blk and white is not as loud.

If that is DAYTONA dail as pictured, it seem to be a "old" dial. The new one has extra ticks at 29 and 33 and sub dials very shiny.

Anyone come across a white dial with extrac ticks ?

no idea. do you have a link that shows the difference in dials? i only know of the meteorite dials (due to extensive research in anticipation of getting it! )

the buyer got a great deal cause i bought it at local AD on May for $16100 for the new Dial

BNIB: Rolex Daytona Black 116520, Alphanumeric UNNAMED!

Much cheaper than what you were quoted in HK. Im sure the seller is happy to deal at RSC too!!

My opinion is that white dial Daytona is much more legible than any other colour - I am talking about SS version. It will be my choice in very near future.

[seiko.citizen]

yup; if you have access to a watchmaker who can get their hands on the dial, you can buy the dial, and get a watchmaker to fit the meteorite inside. as for price; it will be very very steep.

The daytona meteorite dial itself costs sgd7.7k. If ss comes with meteorite dial, that's means the mrsp is at >18k to 20k and ad r likely to let go at much higher px.

i heard rumors that meteorite dial can put in SS daytona....... that would be my fav combo

[minimerc]

Bro, agreed with everything but differ on last sentence. Bright colours actually stand out better against black background, not white background. That's why all tv strive to have full black screen to bring out max contrast. Just my 2 cents.

If you look very carefully, most of Rolex sports watches are black dial, except daytona white and exp II white... White actually makes the watch looks a bit bigger. And the red letters stand out better on a white dial

[mrhan]

haha Thanks guys for the info/advise. Will nego based on the polish

[seiko.citizen]

sounds about right. polishing does nothing to the value unless you are selling back to them . you can try to push the point that the case has been overpolished and see if you can knock off some money from there.

[Darkangel]

Market is about 17-18k for a 16519 which is more than 10 years old.

If a watch has been polished, retailers won't lower price unless it has been badly polished. But it's normal that most watches will be polished lightly so retain it's beauty.

Then it's up to you if you can accept the polishing and bargain as needed.
