Best place to find white panda dial.

I've heard that after the warranty is up, that you can swap the dial w/ a service. My Daytona does not currently need service, so I'd like to find an OEM one and have my watchmaker swap it in. If anyone could point me in that direction I'd much appreciate it.

Best place to find a panda is at a grey dealer. Full stop.

Are grey dealers selling OEM dials? I don't know the part number, but I've also not seen them selling parts.

It's better, they sell the entire watch!

I would just sell your current Daytona (assuming you have a black dial) and add the cash and get the watch you want. not a fan of these franken dial swaps but at the end of the day, your watch, your choice.

I don’t know about RSC swapping dials for a SS Daytona. I know they would for say a 116719 born with a black dial … all are now past warranty, so RSC will swap to blue dial.

They will not swap a black dial to green on 116508, making it a John Mayer. Plus, your watch comes with a white tag that says m116500ln-002, meaning it was born with a black dial. Getting a white dial won’t change that. I get it will make it what you want to see, but collectors will see it as messed with. So I would recommend, like others, to sell yours (or trade towards) and buy the watch you want.

Both are stunning watches. I’d give the nod to the black myself. Cheers.

Maybe EBay, I would work out a Trade for the white dial if that is what I wanted, pay a little extra and get the watch complete as it left the factory.

As others have suggested, unless you're determined to switch dials, I would sell the black daytona and purchase the white
