New Daytona White Dial Question 116500LN

I'm almost 99% sure that I am going to purchase the new white dial cerachrom Daytona.

Before I fully commit to myself, I wanted to know the color brightness of cerachrom daytona's white dial.

Is the new daytona's white dial the same color to prior gen daytona's white dial? Also, if compared to polar white ExII 40mm 16570, will it be the same "white" color or more off-white?

The reason why I ask is because I believe the black bezel will highlight the new daytona's white dial, compared to the steel bezel. (Visual distortion?) It's been really difficult to see the true tone of its white color.

I really prefer the aesthetics of polar white dials, so if the new dial is more off-white than 40mm exII, I may reconsider my choice.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm very thankful that I can be part of this respected community.

I assume its the same as the 116520 but can't say for certain.

Do you know if 116520's white dial is the same color to exII 40mm's polar white dial?

I'd say the same crisp white dial. You are good to go.

I have had both the EXP II and white 116520 (not at the same time though!)

I would say the crisp white dials are very similar. This new ceramic Daytona shouldn't be any different

Hi Rick,
I still remember where I was sitting and what kind of pizza I was eating when you texted me that the fact the Daytona C had been released. Otherwise I would have missed the train too. I got on the list within 30 min. I predict you will be one of the first guys on TRF to get yours. To OP, get on the standby list and if you don't like the dial when your name is called you can pass.
