116519 white dial w dots ever exist?

[llm3000]

hi guys, saw this specific compilation on a watch selling website. i kinda like it but have a strong feeling that it is not official, the white dials i recall only came with Arabic number.

Can anyone tell me if this ever existed / released by rolex for 116519? many thx!

Because some sellers will say anything to make a sale.

With my experience, anything is possible. One way to be certain is the warranty card or papers.

My suspicion is that they harvested the premium dial and replaced it with a basic stainless 116520 dial, but at the same time I’ve seen the 520 black dial on the 116519 and was confirmed by the warranty papers.

I don’t recall that being a factory design.

I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking but I had one like that in stainless steel.

Confirm the reference number and search around. Info will pop up. Or wait here.

Good luck.

I believe he’s asking whether this dial belongs to a steel model rather than a white gold model.

Mine was steel so likely for a steel model then. Didn’t know that was a pm model.

Not sure if this helps but I had a 2007 model that had the numeric white dial. The one shown wasn’t available then as I recall on the wg, was from the steel

looks like a dial swap.

Agreed. I always thought it was odd to have a WG Daytona with the same black dial available on the 116520. Now the black dial has diamonds on the 116509 and 116519.

But I have never seen the WG Daytona with the same white dial as stainless. The WG Daytona always had Arabics on it

Would be very surprised if that turned out not to be a replica

Thanks guys for replying. i did ask the seller but they cannot confirm and there is no card or paper comes with the watch. However, a good bro of mine provided this page to me from a Japan rolex guide book and my question is solved. Share for your reference. *Surprisingly, the black dial (look the same as SS black dial) does apply in WG version but not the SS white dial.

Mystery solved, as I thought the dial was harvested and a plain jane SS dial was put in it's place.

Pass on that particular watch!
