Rolex Daytona Ceramic on women

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here has a wife who wears a ceramic Daytona? Specifically a black dial?

Ever since I got mine, my wife has been asking to wear mine... as of recent, my AD called to offer me a black dial. They are still holding it for me until I make a decision as these do not come by often. I know my wife prefers the white but would wear a black dial. I am just curious to see if anyone has wrist shots before I pull the trigger. My wife has tiny wrists. This will likely be her Christmas present so I am not going to ask her for her opinion as I want to keep it a surprise.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Get it. Wear the black one yourself, give her the white. Matching couple watches.

That’s what I mean though, most women who wear Daytona have White dial as opposed to black. Black may not be the right choice for a woman?

I had both white and black 116500. Honestly I preferred the black more so i let go of the white. My wife favored the 116520 white over the 116500 white, so i let her keep that.

A lot of women - at least those who choose to wear a daytona - prefer the white version.

But ive seen some women wearing black subs so a black ceramic daytona cant possibly be that bad.

Female here... I really want the black ceramic for myself and have the same questions. I wasn't going to actively search for one until I was sure it looked good on a smaller wrist as well.

So if anyone has pictures of a woman wearing a black Daytona C hit me up!!

This is a very old pic when my wife tried my black 116500 when it was still brand new.

I’m female and wear a white 116520......have yet to see a white 116500 in person but I’ve seen and tried the black 116500 - not a fan.

Just an update, we passed on it. We’d rather wait for white dial.

Just like a male wearer, I believe a woman would have her own preference also.

I think that women prefer the white because it is more feminine than the black dial.

My girlfriend also loves bigger watches on her super skinny wrists. I think it looks really odd, just when looking at proportions. But to each their own.
If she can rock it then I say rock it :)

Ronaldo won the World Player of the Year tonight, his boy looks very handsome and like him, and the blue Nautilus is so hard to get even Messi was wearing a white one.
