The Rolex Boutique in Vancouver, BC has longer waitlist for the black dial than white. Go figure.

White is harder to get
It took me longer to find white

Go to DavidSW's site and take your pick...

My guy says the white is tougher to get.

myc ritz · 30 June 2017, 02:26 AM

My AD said about equal. Black is probably my favorite modern Rolex.

GhostWriter · 30 June 2017, 02:29 AM

Just finally received my white two days ago. MY AD said his current waiting list is about 1-1.5 years for the black but 3-4 years for the white. Much greater demand for the white, at least in and around the Toronto area.

Bobby T · 30 June 2017, 02:31 AM

I would think that the white dial commands a higher, aftermarket price, as a result of the way it looks, not necessarily because it is harder to come by. Now, it might be true that Rolex is manufacturing more black dials than white ones, which could result in a higher price for the white dials but, I believe, that the real issue is the white dial is so stunningly superior aesthetically with the black ceramic bezel and outlined sub-dials that it makes the black dial look very ordinary by comparison.

ap1 · 30 June 2017, 02:48 AM

White, it's obvious

GreenLantern · 30 June 2017, 10:43 AM

White is harder because for the 116500 it has been the one with the higher demand if the two.

q8rolex · 30 June 2017, 12:51 PM

White for sure!

brmeyers · 30 June 2017, 03:27 PM

Here in Florida it is most definitely white that is harder to get.

Richmor · 30 June 2017, 06:17 PM

White is harder to get since it is in higher demand.
Drats. Haven't been able to do a proper pic upload.
Picked up a black dial Daytona 500c this week. Yes it is so nice. AD asked me not to sell within the first year. He has been very good to me. I was able to purchase the last SD40 he had. Back to the Daytona, I haven't seen a white dial yet.
Take care.

Cigarlvr07 · 30 June 2017, 07:13 PM

White the black one I got quickly the white one took some time and either are hot

HoroMaverick · 15 July 2017, 01:34 PM

White because it has the panda look which makes it rare like a panda and China likes it more.

watchmework · 15 July 2017, 02:38 PM

I'm not sure which one is harder to get but I was told by an AD in Tysons Corner, VA today that they have a 10 yr waitlist for a SS Daytona...I kind of chuckled a bit when I heard that.

armen34 · 15 July 2017, 02:45 PM

I like black better, maybe because I actually tried it on, but white is a longer wait list... I don't know why

armen34 · 15 July 2017, 02:46 PM

...

Kenrocks · 21 July 2017, 09:55 PM

If the black vs white production volumes of the 5-digit Daytona iterations are of any relevance (I do hence this reply with the attached ), rolex does make what seemed to be more popular even harder to get. Part of their marketing genius I suppose ....

FAsnakes · 21 July 2017, 11:01 PM

White

shirtguy · 22 July 2017, 04:33 AM

white, I randomly called an ad and they had a black unspoken for, I passed cause the white to me is nicer

mvaughn · 22 July 2017, 04:47 AM

Quick question for you guys with known ADs searching for you - when an AD gets you one of these off a list, do they still sell at Rolex MSRP? Or closer to the markets such as on this forum?

I own one Rolex (purchased on this forum) and have no dealer so I figure my options are limited to that market.

viper · 22 July 2017, 07:52 AM

White seems tougher to get

I will say the black looks amazing in person, pics do the black no justice.

richard371 · 22 July 2017, 08:54 AM

White. Saw the black in person and passed on it for the white and glad I did. The white looks like something totally different where the black looks like a 116520 with a ceramic bezel added. Don't get me wrong they both are great and one would be very fortunate to own both.
