Hi all.

I wonder if anybody can shed some light on whether the black Newman dial that I keep seeing online exists it's the one with the red second hand and yellow sub dials on a yellow gold oysterflex Daytona.
I've been to two ADs and they've told me it doesn't exist and on the UK Rolex website there is no dial options to choose from when configuring.
Can anybody shed some light please as I would love to try this one on.
Cheers everybody

I've posted similar frustrations. The Rolex USA website also does not show this option, for some strange reason. But that dial does exist; members have posted pics.

The ADs should have the full option catalog where it has every single dial option across the product lineup. Surprising to hear them deny that.

Just pull up David's website and show them...he's got one for sale.

That should clear up any arguments whether it exists or not.

Thanks guys it is weird though isn't it... I did show them pictures they still say it's not an option they were actually saying it was after market which I knew was bs.... I'll get to the bottom of it

PS - The dial option is shown on the configurator for the YG on a bracelet

Just saw it at my AD in Singapore. Retails for SGD$36,960 and listed as 116518LN

Hi,

Just saw it at an AD today. Ref 116518.
Interesting... The chrono hand is red but the subdial hands were black.
BTW a gorgeous piece but passed and waiting for the champagne dial with blk subdials. I think there's more contrast with this dial.

Probably easiest to visualise

What’s interesting is that they also had an older discontinued model (on the leather strap) whose current list price has increased by 10% the last time I saw it in Aug 2017:
