It will be very difficult to source a white dial for the 116500 and in most cases the RSC will not do a swap (though it never hurts to ask).
My advice would be to contact a gray market seller and trade your watch for a white dial model. It will cost you some money since the market price of the white dial is higher, but it’s the easiest way to get what you want. |

It has to be white as it’s for my eldest son , He tried to buy one last year but he doesn’t have a spends history that would convince a AD to sell him one , He has had some other priorities like moving house etc and after all it’s only a watch 🙄. I have said I’d keep my eyes open and this example came up local at what I thought was a good price, I panicked and bought it before it was sold. I contacted RSC about a service and dial change , The SS Daytona is one of a few watches dials can’t be changed along with Yellow Gold Daytonas going to green and SS skydweller going to Blue . The young lady was kind to politely explain it all,
I told my son I’d get it sorted and I will , one way or another I’ll px it or buy another . |

You need a white dial ,but it obviously didnt hurt to buy the black dial .....

Probably cheaper to trade it, if it must be white.

trade+cash with a local grey dealer and it will probably end up costing just a little more than what you might have to pay to source the white dial and get it swapped out or if you are going to source a dial, definitely go for the steel dial i'm so tempted to do this for my own white daytona |

How is this even cheap? That's $33,000 cad where I'm from. Meanwhile the watch retails at $15,500. You've really committed to the hype wagon here.

Watchfinder are asking £25 to £30k List is £10500 My Pal offered it at £18,500 . It would have been silly to Decline it and after checking with Watchfinder they as above are 19250/19750 so even in the middle ,I would be £1000 in profit , I don’t get some of the comments I will call Rolex again tomorrow and double check the we can’t swap a SS Daytona dial ! I asked Kingshill but maybe St James will have a different idea. |

Another issue came to mind if you do a dial swap. If the watch is sent to RSC in the future, they may confiscate the white dial and send it back with a black dial again. Historically RSC returns the watch to its “original condition” and they will, of course, know that it was originally a black dial. Now RSC policies are somewhat opaque and always changing, but I wouldn’t take the chance.
