Will this swap work on a black dial 116500?

Looks great, are you going to switch it up to an oyster flex as well?

looks good but overall it's not really for me - as I am an OEM kinda guy.

But hey!! Yours is the only opinion that matters !! Enjoy

The reason i did this was because i don't like the Oysterflex bracelet..and the beauty of it is that I could always swap the original dial back if needed:)

Exactly..was quite careful with the swap and had a reputable watchmaker do the job. He works with a very well-known auction house in Geneva..

Very unique! Even though I would never change the “nature” of any of my rolexes but this one I really like!

Congrats on the change up. I’m in the minority on this one as I have the 116519ln and love it on the oysterflex It just doesn’t quite look as good. I’m drooling over getting a white DaytonaC and got the WG to tide me over but I must say that I truly prefer the white dial over any of the dials - including mine - and that’s says a lot!

Wow, that is really nice. I would have no issue with this mod if done by the right watch tech and reversible. It’s unique and pops- very cool. Thanks for posting pics.

No, but I do love the “Steel” dial of the WG Oysterflex Daytona
