Just a Ceramic "Daytona" thought.

[Winnie Bloo]

There has been umpteen threads about the Ceramic Daytona and a thought I had this morning.............yeah it hurt

I suppose it may be hypothetical?

Many of us preferred the "White" face initially and many still do.
However, a few of us changed our minds when a "Black" became available
and pleased we took the opportunity of adding it to our collection.

Although Rolex, I understand, NO LONGER change dials.

BUT

If they DID in the future

would you

1 - Change the colour the the dial?

2 - Regret you didn't buy a Ceramic Daytona and enjoy it, until a change
was offered.

As I say, hypothetical.

I know I would have regretted not adding mine.

Would I change my dial to white? Maybe.

Would I have waited and waited and waited for a white?
All I can say is I am pleased I have ONE of the variants.

Hope this makes sense?

Fortunately for me, I wanted black all along, and that was what was first offered to me.

First one I got to see was a white...had it been available, I'd have bought it. But think I'd have regretted it unless I could also get the black (at list) as well.

So I'd be the opposite of your situation but I'd probably swap to black from white had I gotten white first.

[Winnie Bloo]

Yeah it's interesting eh what we would do ?

[melrob1]

My AD gotbin white before the black, I turned it down. The refrigerator white just didn't do it for me. I did like the contrast of it though. I also think the white is much more sporty. If I could own both I probably would but I'd still choose black before white.

First one offered to me was black so I took it. I am easy.

[japenney]

Decent chance rolex would swap the dial for you 10 years down the road during a full service. I have heard of it happening in Canada with ge 116520. Perhaps it is different there.

[Racerdj]

I waited for a white dial but could have accepted a black one. I would not change and the white dial is perfect for me!

[watchwatcher]

They're both amazing in the flesh and I know I would be happy with either.

That said, you gotta go with what sings to you...

Black offered, black purchased

[GB-man]

Black was offered and I bought black as well. That said, I was one of those who wanted white for sure post Basel and then decidedly changed my mind by fall. So fortunately I got what I wanted.

[Lordofrolex]

i would of went with whatever was offered first at msrp.

[r8t3d_M]

I don't have either but prefer the black dial and would likely just wait to purchase it. I doubt I would ever change the dial if it were an option.

[RichM]

I had the choice of either and went with white. White is what I wanted and white it will stay.

[AMCK87]

I have the 116520 in white and so opted for the 116500 in black - I preferred that colorway as well in this model. Wouldn't change the dial.

[hh605]

I am kind of in a similar situation...except the owning part ;).

I really liked the white dial when it first came out and it started growing on me...

I am considering purchasing the black one for myself instead of the white one as soon as my AD calls me...

I'd be Sunday morning too on this one.

[Louis (Toronto)]

Waiting for the white dial here. Next one the AD gets is mine. I would pass on the black one if offered today as I have a couple of black dial watches (incl a Sub Date) so want the white to add variety plus I always wanted a white dial SS Daytona. When I saw the Basel release there was no doubt which one I wanted immediately.

[SC11]

Wanted white since seeing the Basel release pics and had the choice or either (sadly not both) on arrival and stuck with the white and glad I did as I love it..


However I now want the black as well

[isuolympic]

White offered at AD twice and turned down. Next trip black offered and purchased. Happy that I did and would not change.

[regnant]

I'm happy with 002 Black dial but a dark navy blue Cerachrom bezel would be an icing on the cake �� in this case on the bezel

[LBC4225]

I am very happy with BLK

[Alexwwjd]

I wanted the black one first but then I got the white one. Would I change the dial? No. Would I get a black one so I have both? Yes.

Interesting guys.

I am very happy with my black face.

It was just a thought that occurred to me had I not tried the black on and thought it was FANTASTIC!! Subsequently bought it

Had I not.....

Would I be sat here now thinking.......

Mmmmm never tried black.....want white......

But if ever Rolex swapped dials I could at least enjoy a Daytona. NOW.

That was my thought..........

Anyway, at least I am very fortunate to be enjoying the superb black face now.
