PT Daytona Question,

I own a PT D , could I have a white dial and black ceramic bezel fitted ?


I realise that Rolex wouldn't do it , but could it be done ?

Thank you

Yes that is technically possible.

I can see the appeal though, having a platinum watch that looks the exact same as the SS model.
The ice blue dial/brown ceramic is an acquired taste, I understand why someone would want the feel of platinum in a daytona without the colour combo.

I agree too.

I've actually never seen a PT Daytona in person, but I know from my experiences owning a 116519 and 116500, they feel like different watches.

Even my dad once, held both in his hands and said, so this one is 42mm and this one is 40mm?

Obviously that's just one persons perception of the two watches, but still goes to show how different they look and feel.

I personally think the ice blue and brown is awesome though.
