I love the Daytona. I understand the rarity of the SS White and Black faces. I like the black a bit more. As I search around though I am finding some with "Arabic Racing" dials. I like these a bit more as they have the numbers and also the red hands. It stands out a bit more and I like that. My questions are as follows:
1. When I go to rolex.com I can't seem to "configure" a SS model with this dial. Why is that? Did it exist at one time and no longer does or is a SS model with Arabic due to someone changing the dial?
2. Assuming it is factory....are these more rare than the already rare SS White and SS Black models?
Finally, I understand the whole AD buying experience however obviously I'm not going to find one of these SS Daytonas easily via that route. Other than the trusted sellers here are there reputable online dealers? (eg. luxuryofwatches or bobswatches).
Thanks in advance everyone. With your help I'm going to be diving in and buying something very very soon! I can't wait.

Since its launch with the in-house movement cal 4130 in 2000 I would say today there must be many hundreds of thousands in this world so hardly rare black dial seems more popular in Asia.Afraid no modern day Rolex is rare just some a bit harder to find than others,and would expect one of our trusted sellers could have one on your wrist is a few days at a better price than most any AD..
