I am a TT LOVER! PM is more valuable than SS, look is a matter
of preference!

Why is Stainless more popular? 1) at MSRP it costs less than TT Daytonas. 2) At MSRP all Rolex Stainless watches cost less than TT Rolex watches. 3) People in general want greatest quality at the lowest possible cost. There is no quality difference in general between SS and any other metal used in Rolex manufacturing. ie. buy stainless.

A trend is established to buy stainless. Thoughtless lemmings all leap off the cliff believing stainless is better. It is a self perpetuating cycle of watch buyers wanting SS at any cost as that is the "in thing." It results in greater costs on the secondary market to buy stainless as opposed to something with precious metal in it.

IMHO justification for buying stainless over TT watches and paying exorbitant prices are pretty much BS unless there is some religious rule prohibiting wearing precious metals; these do exist.

I love the TT Rolexes ... I think they are available at great value ... I also think Rolex does the TT the best ... This is all my opinion

For religious reasons and also that John Mayer hasn't swoon over them.

Thus proving that most people, sadly, only care about the resale factor.

Same watch, same movement, has gold, but lower resale? Nah, gimme the steel.

Sad indeed.

The TT Daytona black dial really looks cool. The TT also had some Arabic dials which were great. If you want some dial selection TT is your best option.

Because hype moves in a mass-based fashion!
Personally I love mine.
