My New Rolex Daytona TT & my Non Date Sub :-)

Just received my new TT Daytona Panda dial watch today, very happy with it.
My sub pictured is a 5513 plexi glass model which I bought new also in 1990, only been worn a few times in 23 years, so it's in mint condition :-)
I know I'm extremely lucky to own not just 1 Rolex but 2 :-)
Anyway hope you like the pictures :-)

What is the white speck/smear just to the right of the 12 marker on the hour subdial in the second pic?

Nice Daytona - had the same model

That is, until it flipped into a RG President, which in turn...well you know...begat a lot more flipping!

For all the enthusiasm on this site over the Daytona, I never warmed up to it, until now - that is the nicest model I've seen. And of course, I am a big fan of the Sub, and yours being a 2 liner, well, you indeed have two beautiful watches. Enjoy them.
Btw, is that the so called Panda version?

I don't normally like the TT Daytonas, but with that dial it looks pretty nice!

Congrats on your TT Daytona, that's a looker.

What a beautiful two liner, looks like it just came off the showroom, so to speak.
