Poll Help decide TT Daytona vs. TT Serti Sub

I've been thinking about adding one of these TT sport watches to my collection. Would really appreciate some input.

16613 slate serti dial




116523 or 16523 in white or slate What are the pro's and con's of these two Daytona references?





Current Collection:
116400gv - Milgauss
18038 - YG DD
16570 - Polar ExpII
16014 - SS DJ

Agreed.

But the only TT watch I like is the DJ on jubilee.

I've seen a 116523 with a panda dial and it's a really sharp looking piece. Here's one from the FS section: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=374090
If I ever bought a TT Daytona, it would be that one. I have zero use for the chronograph function, but that dial almost makes up for it......almost.

Daytona with slate dial. I much prefer the Rolex movement 4130 to the old Zenith movement. Check here or search engine for 4030 vs 4130.

My Brother in law just bought a TT Daytona Panda Dial and it is absolutely stunning. That would definitely be my choice.

I contacted a seller about a serti sub earlier this week. I didn't end up with it, but you know what I voted for.

Love the slate Sub. Had you just polled between the regular black/blue Subs and the Daytona, I'd have gone with the Daytona.

Sorry to hijack the thread OP, but I just had to say, I can't wait for Rolex to release a jubilee bracelet for the DJII (41mm)

Anything but the old serti sub.....because....

New bracelets, new clasps, easy links, divers extensions etc etc etc depending on model

Unless you want the classic aluminum and old style bracelet....then nothing but the serti

And there is another thread I believe called 2014 daytona and there are many items listed between the current gen reference and the past gen reference of the

In theory I would like this, but part of my thinks it won't look right.

I spoke to an AD Here in Dallas, and he said the Rolex Rep told him that too when he inquired about the DJII coming out on a jubilee.

I think both the GMT and Daytona works well in TT. But the real TT icon is the Datejust on a jubilee.

I voted other. My choices would be the following:

1. Submariner Date 116613 LB with sunburst dial
2. Datejust II 116333 with slate green roman dial
3. Datejust 116231 with silver stick dial or 116233 white roman dial

The above watches are the best TT watches Rolex has to offer in my opinion. Can't go wrong with any of them.

I would vote for the Serti Sub, but my heart is with the 116613 TT Sunburst Blue Sub.

I originally was looking at the serti for my first Rolex. Finally decided that the jewels just weren't quite right for a sub and went with the sunburst. Couldn't be happier with it.

Though, to each his/her own, of course.
