However, some SS Daytonas are modified. Like for instance this SS Daytona with a MET dial that normally does not come with the SS Daytonas:

How do you get a dial like that ?. Down here in OZ Rolex will only sell you parts that correspond to the model # and are on an exchange basis

That watch took a lot of heat on here as being the Frankenwatch. As good as it looks, I'm too much of a purist to do something like that with mine. It also makes me nervous to modify cars. I applaud anyone who can and feel good about it, though!

If you wanted a SS Daytona w/ arabic dial, I bet you could pretty easily find a non-AD to swap out the dial with the white arabic dial off a WG Daytona. For some reason I see a lot of WG Daytonas with the white baton dial from the SS Daytona, so those original white arabic dials must be going somewhere.
