Not for me but if you are arab speaking I guess it's cool? Would rather go with diamonds baguettes if not the standard dial.

EDIT: Wait, is there Roman, Arabic and Arabic-arabic numerals?

tyler1980 · 18 December 2018, 06:29 PM

seems like a thinly veiled sales listing to me

Rashid.bk · 18 December 2018, 06:30 PM

Absolutely love it, but is it special edition or special request.

jonathan17 · 18 December 2018, 07:24 PM

Arabic dial looks great on the platinum day-date but i still with the Classic one for the platinum daytona.

mojomomo · 18 December 2018, 07:37 PM

I'm torn regarding this model, it's very confusing for me. I have the Arabic (Hindi) DD40 myself and there the numerals look amazing and the dial is balanced. Where this Daytona fails is that they kept a mix of both Arabic and Hindi numbers. It would be a home run if they made it all Hindi numerals. The original platona model with markers has a much cleaner and less cluttered dial than this one.

I appreciate it's not in the same legue but I added pic of a watch that does Hindi numerals just right, the Fredrique Constant Arabic Heritage Edition. Note the date subdials, the hour markers, and even the seconds markers are all in Hindi numerals. This makes for a very cohesive design and layout.

No

jimcameron · 18 December 2018, 08:08 PM

Why are the numbers on the bezel, and the printing on the dial not in Arabic?

For that matter, why are the dials of a Swiss watch printed in English rather than German, French or Italian?

Very valid points. I cannot unsee this now. It really makes no sense now that you look at it.

Bingo.

Jacobson · 18 December 2018, 09:26 PM

I was quite exited about this dial on the Daytona when it was initially shown @ Basel 2018. After seeing it in the metal, it just didn’t look right to me, the sub-dials & bezel should have also had the font change.

Works well on my DD as the dial looks much cleaner.

travisb · 18 December 2018, 09:29 PM

Unique and good looking but I still prefer the standard dial.

GolfPunk · 18 December 2018, 09:39 PM

I have no desire to have Arabic on my watch. I speak and read in English.

Also what is it with these watches with Roman numerals? I read and speak English!

1William · 18 December 2018, 10:05 PM

I like the look but not for me.

Ar_Mi · 19 December 2018, 12:17 AM

If only they did the 'Indian/arabic numerals' on the RG models..

Brian7708 · 19 December 2018, 12:22 AM

Love the uniqueness!

lenfried29 · 19 December 2018, 12:28 AM

The numbers on the dial is Persian/Urdu origin. Not sure if this is spatial edition, most likely not because I see different Rolex models with the same numbers.

jeffnnj · 19 December 2018, 12:34 AM

Dial is too busy to being with. No.

It is unique and different, but I'd stick with the classic dial.

I suppose for the appropriate market, that would be neat. Not for me, though.

Is that a Rolex original dial, or has it been customized after market?

dwjez14 · 19 December 2018, 01:35 AM

Cool watch but for a watch with such a big cost I prefer it factory with no mods. If you have the money to burn then go for it

These dials are factory.

ian.thomas · 19 December 2018, 02:02 AM

I don't dislike it, but I don't think I would get this dial on the Daytona. But on the DD it looks great!

You are mistaken, it was sold before I posted it, it was to share with other enthusiasts... who most likely won't have the chance to see one in flesh.

Special Edition for some Middle Eastern retailers.
