A couple of things!
First of all, hello! i've been lurking here for a while, and recently decided to join. My name's lewis and im at university at the moment, and on the weekends i work part time at an AD which is where my passion for all this has come from mainly as an answer to all the question to the rolex questions that people couldn't answer at work. So yeah, hello everyone, and with that out the way, an actual question
I'm presently saving for my first purchase, which as it stands is a TT Daytona, and i was wondering where all my fellow TRF'ers had sourced their non-standard dials from? i'm thinking along the lines of a paul newman dial for the TT as it looks perdy Obviously i should be in the right environment to source one myself, but i don't think that's going to be a possibilty. So any responses would be appreciated, and also, if you have any questions AD related, if i can answer, then i'd be happy to! |

a TT Daytona is an amazing watch, and were I to buy a TT Daytona it'd be a silver or slate or black w/champaign sub dials, most likely the third. I will disrupt and rebel and say, though, that though the TT Daytona is one of the best TT watches, there are TWO better: the TT Dj 36mm and the TT gmt2c. IMO. YMMV. So, get a Yg Daytona, I lust for one too, a Yg, champaign w diamonds. one of these trips to Vegas. . . anyhow, a sweet used black dual Yg Daytona w champaign will settle U 4 life.

Welcome on board, I've just finished working part time at an AD - playing with the watches can end up being expensive By the Paul Newman dial, do you mean the white and black panda dial with Arabics? If so, that's a standard dial on a TT Daytona, and is easily ordered from Rolex
