Where can i try on both ss daytona black and white dial?

Im in a small market, Richmond, Va, and there are 2 AD's but they never have any ss daytonas in stock, I need to try on both the white and black to see which one to purchase but I don't know how. Any help?

It is tough...to this day I have never seen any SS in an AD window. They still pretend like they are hard to get. Call, maybe they have them and don't display it.

If you can find somewhere that sells per-owned, they might have in stock.
Good Luck

Any city that has a Rolex store will have them. Virtually everyone who sells Rolex in Greater Los Angeles/Orange County has them in their cases.

In nyc the shops in the diamond district always have many in the windows.

Maybe you could try on a black & white explorer II, just to get a sense of the different dials?

I had the white daytona, got lots of coliments!
As a general guideline, the white is more popular in the american market and the black is more popular in the asian market.
However when we have polls here, they are always very close

Ps youll also see what a legible watch can look like

that's a good idea on trying on both explorer II's bc my AD has both of those in stock, currently I have a ssGMTIIC and a GMTII coke, both obviously with black dials, so I thought white would be the best choice, but then again black goes better with my skin tone in my opinion, the white explorer II should solve that
