Rolex - TT Sub or Daytona

I am thinking of getting a TT Rolex. I currently have DSSD and 18k YM. I am debating between the new 116613 Blue SubC and Daytona 116523. What do you think?

TT Daytona to me! I find it more original and you don't see them around that often.

TT Daytona would be my 1st choice but that's because I already have my 16613 Black sub. Both are great looking watches!

Both are fantastic looking watches, if I were to pick one my choice would be the Sub. The blue dial and bezel are mesmerizing.

Sub. I don't care for no date watches. I really wish Rolex didn't skimp on the date function on the daytona because it is a good looking watch.

I am bias towards TT Blue SubC. I have one and its a very striking watch. The blue and gold colour pairing is a match made in heaven.

Thanks, really good feedback. Seems like the TT Sub is the favorite. I was making sure because when I asked about a Rose DDII and RG Daytona there was an overwhelming vote for the Daytona. It seems in the TT, the blue Sub is popular because of color combination and possibly new design features.

In TT, the Blue-dial Sub is a classic. Daytona looks awkward in TT, in my opinion. Needs to be solid to look "right" to me (not sure why).

I went from this.....



To this (thanks again Mastermixer)



Good luck in your quest for one of the two models that you have displayed

Both have pros and cons, in feel and wear.

The TT Daytona is a classy watch IMHO

But hey........If the price for a TT Sub was right, at the right time, I'd buy the Sub. There's a lot to like
