Received this dial today and they are ready to be fitted tomorrow

Does anyone know which rolex daytona is this dial originally fitted on?
Thanks guys

I think that one is one of the availble dials for the WG Daytona.

That looks like the yellow gold dial to me? Like the one fitted on the 116523.

If that is the case, it won't look to good on a ss Daytona IMO.

My Bad, your right it does come on a YG model. In fact on the Rolex website it's the dial on the YG Daytona with a strap.

This would have been a better choice IMO, white gold surrounds rather than YG:

I think it's only officially for the 116519 and 116528, just finding itself onto 116523s since it is such a great dial.

I do think that it will look marvellous on a 116520. Better than the WG panda dial.

I like Omega's use of yellow gold hour markers on some of their SS model on a white dial.

Be sure to post a pic to prove me right.

There we go, I love it

MonBK · 5 November 2011, 03:49 AM

Looks great.

britincali · 5 November 2011, 03:53 AM

When I finally get my SS daytona that will be my first and only mod, I LOVE it :)

The Joker · 5 November 2011, 03:57 AM

I think it looks fantastic. I think we are gonna need a lot more pics though.

Z-Sub · 5 November 2011, 04:11 AM

looks great there

RXPete · 5 November 2011, 04:15 AM

Looks great.

psv · 5 November 2011, 04:28 AM

I'm glad you like it, that is what matters. Looks completely off IMO.

I completely agree. The YG surrounds just look out of place, but if you're happy with then that's all that matters.

I agree. What you had was iconic, but the change would immediately make me think it might be a fugazi. The WG surrounds would have been ok.

I have that dial on my Daytona 116520, fitted by rolex uk. Thats a long story!! I have the black dial with red on my other Daytona,

I am sure there is a post on here somewhere with the two in a pix !!

PanosI · 5 November 2011, 05:43 AM

here is a pic of my modded 116520 and my friends 116523

Paulie 50 · 5 November 2011, 05:46 AM

The first photo is the best, leave it as it was sold to you, imho.

Here's the exact reference of your dial : "white/black arab" initially fitted for yellow gold or Rolesor Daytonas :

Thanks alot guys, I appreciate both good and bad comments, heres one more.

Cru Jones · 5 November 2011, 08:13 AM

more pix!! i think it looks pretty good.....don't understand the intensity of the negative reactions....the daytona seems to inspire it.

HL65 · 5 November 2011, 08:44 AM

Not a big mod fan but that does look nice!

Nothing too negative about the mod per se, it is rather that the OP put a yellow gold watch dial with yellow gold hands and numerals on a stainless steel watch vs putting the white gold ditto one. But as stated, as long as the owner is happy with the mod I am all for it. Congrats!

I agree with Patrick.

Both dials are very nice but the WG dial & hands suits the st/st and the YG dial and hands look better on a YG or TT model.
