No problem at all, infact it’s quite dry in UAE so I hardly sweated.

Congrats OP on getting what is my single favorite rolex (outside maybe the Platona).............down the road, when I sell one of my two 116500's, my plan is to get exactly this watch-- the RG Daytona on OF.

My plan was to get this same dial color combo that you did, but I spoke with my AD and she said that given my desire to get the easiest to read dial, I should consider the RG daytona with the white dial, or possibly even the black dial with the RG sub dials, in order to get the best contrast.

Between my 2 daytonas, the white dial 116500 is easily the easier to read c/w the black dial.

What's been your experience with dial legibility in low light conditions with this watch so far?

i chose RG dial with black sub dials because it’s the best colour combination for the RG model.
With the YG model I would’ve chosen either black dial Paul Newman style or Gold dial with black sub dial.

My dial is very easy to read in low light conditions, my dj has black MOP dial which is slightly more difficult to read.
