I've been offered a TT SubC and a DSSD each at a great deal price (c20% discount). The problem is i've also got the opportunity to pick up a SS Daytona at RRP. All are from an AD.

Given that my current stable features a SS SubC, TT Daytona and a TT DJ, out of the 3 which would be the best choice?

I only want to pick up one at the moment.

Thanks in advance guys.

Daytona the other ones can be get at great discounts everywhere!

A.J.R. · 3 April 2012, 04:20 AM

I voted TT SubC, but the Daytona would be a fine selection too.

Just curious..why not the GMT?

DSSD for me

SaddleSC · 3 April 2012, 05:31 AM

In the last three weeks, I have purchased both a 116613 TT Sub C and the DSSD. That is a very difficult decision. They are both fantastic pieces. If you are interested in adding a fun pop of color to your collection, go with the TT Sub C. I find it to be the flashiest Rolex in my collection and you definitely need to be comfortable with a watch that attracts attention if you decide to go that route.

On the other hand the DSSD has so many unique features not found on other Rolex diver's and such a unique presence. It is a real technological tour de force and also a very, very special watch. It is SO fun to wear.

As you can see, the only solution I could reasonably come to was to buy BOTH:)

Dssd.

RRGHOST1 · 3 April 2012, 06:13 AM

The watches you have all ready seem to have covered most bases in your collection,unless you get a GMT and you are not fussed on those,so i voted for dont buy any.

ideal-watches · 3 April 2012, 06:21 AM

If you really want another watch and have all the beses covered really, you can always play tic-tac-to! No really, the DS is the most robust and my choice of the three.

T.S.Eliot · 3 April 2012, 07:25 AM

TT Daytona out and SS Daytona in!

I just can't justify the same watch in TT especially.

EchoBlueUK · 3 April 2012, 08:46 PM

Thanks guys. I'm still on the fence with this one.

wokafu · 3 April 2012, 08:56 PM

DSSD got my vote just because I dont really like TT and Daytona...

Cru Jones · 3 April 2012, 09:02 PM

if you HAVE to get one of those, i'd go DSSD. or, consider holding out for another piece?

speedo · 3 April 2012, 09:20 PM

tt gmt would be my choice.

tattooedfagin · 3 April 2012, 10:52 PM

i'd snag the Daytona, others can be found pretty easily pre-owned at better prices & in abundance.

nauticajoe · 3 April 2012, 11:28 PM

The Daytona's got my vote.

Good luck!

Rollie2011 · 4 April 2012, 02:33 AM

I wouldn't get another TT for you collection.

I would go with either the Dssd or Daytona. Daytona would be my choice

handsfull · 4 April 2012, 06:01 AM

If your wrist size is over 8 inches in diameter, go DSSD. Otherwise the TTSub.

EchoBlueUK · 4 April 2012, 06:09 AM

I'm leaning toward the Daytona but I keep changing my mind every few hours

. I'm surprised that the poll is favouring the DSSD. Before this poll started I would have predicted that everyone would go for the Daytona.

gwalker · 4 April 2012, 06:44 AM

TT Sub. The DSSD and TT SubC are very easy to find with a goo to great discount. It's very hard to find a SS Daytona at a discount. Pick the one you like best. I hate asking others opinions on here because most are biased to what they like. Good luck with your choice but keep us updated with your choice.
