Just curious, how rare are these watches and do they command a premium in price over the non-Arabic dial Daytonas? I'm planning on acquiring a Daytona and like the look of the white Arabic dial. But I just wanted to get a feel for how these watches are valued in the market.
Thanks for any comments.

Are you sure you dont mean the Gold?

sunshine9393 · 17 January 2012, 08:56 PM

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of SS ones with the white Arabic dial. Unless they are Frankenwatches and aren't meant to exist??!!

White Gold and SS do look alot like each other.

No such official Rolex watch in S.steel the S.steel has just two dial options black or white dial with standard stick markers .And no modern day Rolex dial is rare if its a watch you seen then the dial was changed from the standard stick marker dial or it was a white gold model.And will add any change from the standard dial in the SS Rolex themselves would not service it unless it was put back as standard..

There you go. Saw a pre-owned one at a reputable jeweler that shall remain nameless. Previous owner must have switched out the dial and the jeweler obviously don't know much about Rolexes except for the brand. So, it's either a WG Daytona or a SS with the stick dial huh? I think I saw DavidSW selling a WG... Interesting

I've got a white SS Daytona that I think is great but that dial is a really nice upgrade!

SoftwareDrone · 18 January 2012, 08:23 AM

Does anybody know how much that dial is?
