Rolex Daytona Ceramic 116500 White. One picture, finally!
Thanks to RaymondS who let me play with this Daytona.
I already said it, I am not a fan of Daytonas, but in this case, I changed my mind. This version is a king of Cool!
The only problem is to find one at the retail.
I will let fate decide if it is for me or not. I would like to see fate on my side, though... 
Best,
Nicolas

Did you order one?
I ordered a white one and received a black six months after. I didn't decline when the AD called me, I'm happy with it. Last week I gave Rolex Paris a call and ask them if I could change the dial. The associate told me it's possible on some models, maybe ...
This is mine? Oh no... it's my boss' :) Wow...I can never take a photo like this....Thank you Nico for making it so beautiful!
To find one at retail is not impossible, just a matter of when. Hope you get yours soon one day.
Fingers crossed that you will find one soon.
But make sure that you have seen the black dial in the metal too before you decide. It completely changed my mind. Best, Volker
Great shot Nicolas.
It really is a super cool watch. I love mine. Well worth the waiting. M. ...
The intention was for comparison not to blind you .....
But yes I know what you mean once you’ve seen a Porcelain dial in the flesh it’s game over. Having said that the Ceramic white Daytona is a special watch and for me the white definitely has the edge. Enjoy the chase because after all it’s the chase we all...
I’m with you 100 % my friend
As you know I love the 16520 in black dial version (specially if Patrizzi dial) but if white then this 116500 is a very serious contender. I am not far to go for one soon...
Love the white
This is making it hard to be content with my black dial ceramic Daytona; I've been waiting more than 1 year for a white dial from my AD. First world problem at its finest.
The white dial would be my choice as well
but then again I have a preference for white dials.
Funny. The white / black dial Daytona debate has gone on for 30 years.
And is still raging. M.
