Can someone answer why Rolex keeps production on the white face so low?
Is it to push buyers into PM Daytonas? Any other reason they do this? All other models trickle out in greater quantities, but not this one as of yet. |

Again - just a guess. I know my AD usually receives the same amount of black dials as they do white dials per year. |

One AD I know of received 3 white dials and 6 black dials last year as an anecdotal example. |

I think they're shipping more blacks from everything I've been able to gather.

Black dial now up over $19k?!
The pricing on these is only going one way, and it ain't down.

I just got my white dial a couple of weeks ago. My AD only received one white to the half dozen black received last year.

I think prices will rise in the UK this year. some dealers were getting 4/5 last year. Rolex have informed Some Authorised Dealers in the UK they may receive 2 a year.
could the waiting lists have just doubled?? |

They definitely produce more black dials than white and the market quickly reflected that. Before the whole sports shortage last year Black was $16k and white $18k. Every shop I’ve talked to has told me the white ones are harder to come around. Even on this forum, more people have black ones than white.
I guess I should have ordered without preference when I got on the lists. I specifically asked for white only. At that time I thought production of both would be equal. It’s ridiculous since the white dial is the one they marketed in the official ad to build hype.
