Daytona 116523 question

Hello all

Just looking at a 2014 Daytona TT and the dial is white with small numbers on it.

I’ve not had any luck finding any others, all others appear to have the larger numbers on the dial. These are small, only seen them on MOP dials but this one isn’t MOP dial

Anyone help me out?! Is this likely to be a changed dial etc? Tried to upload however files too big and not near a computer.

Thanks all

Without a picture it’s gonna be hard to help

But I have this one

Is this what you mean by small numbers? An Arabic dial? Also a 116523

Managed to find one that is small enough to post!

This is the exact dial. It’s a 2014 watch.

Are you sure it's not a MOP Arabic dial?

I google'd this:
https://elegantswiss.com/products/ro...r-watch-116523

It looks white, but description states that it's a MOP. I've seen some MOP dials that don't have much "pearl" effect, but almost all of them do.

Both the above are original Rolex. I think the one with the large numbers is called 'racing Arabic' whereas the one with the smaller numbers just 'Arabic'

The one I’m looking at is definitely not a MOP dial but all models I’ve seen with the small numbering seem to be on a MOP dial.

I’m not decided yet as it would mean my 214270 explorer mk1 and explorer 2 226570 going the other way for a part exchange. I don’t wear them very much much but I’ve got a bit of doubt.

Thank you. Just started looking at the Daytonas and so many variations I just couldn’t find another. Thanks
