SOTDs

[catsby90]

State of the Daytona’s: my trio together. My first was the TT 16503. It is obviously the most accessible. I’m fortunate to have a good relationship with my AD and I’m thrilled to have both SS models in my collection to complement the TT.

Most people like the white dial more than the black for the SS models. I understand the homage to the Paul Newman and how the white dial is *closer* to the Newman. However, I view the 11650_ series as a watch in itself and not an homage. The fact that these are Daytonas are enough homage for my taste; they wouldn’t be what they are but for Newman and a Daytona in itself is enough of a tribute in my opinion.

Aesthetically, I like the black dial the most. This will likely change over time, I’ll likely experience seasons of preference for each individual watch. I certainly appreciate them all.

Lastly, I’m fortunate to have small wrists. My wife can wear all of these watches (not that she would wear the stainless models) and often wears the TT which I think works very well as a large dial ladies watch. I liken it to a “boyfriend” model of women’s clothing/style. I think it’s pretty badass for her to wear a Daytona.

Thanks for reading.
