I realize the SS Daytonas command a premium, but do you think they look $2K better than the TTs? Certainly the TTs have more interesting dial options, the same great movement and more precious metal.

Even after the recent price rise, the TT Daytonas are selling for $2,000 LESS than the SS models at Alan Furman. This is crazy.

Ahh, we covet that which is difficult to get don't we?!

BTSinAustin · 14 March 2008, 04:04 AM

Personally I think the TT is way better looking. Love the steel dial and the black dial with champaign counters But I have small wrists and 40mm does not look good on me so it is all academic.

BuffaloRolex · 14 March 2008, 04:06 AM

I really, really like the TT Daytona with the white dial. It's a stunner!

But, already owning a TT Sub, and not wanting to worry as hard about scratching a SS Daytona bezel than I would an 18k gold bezel, I really would prefer the white-faced SS Daytona...

Nope!

Personally speaking i am starting to like more the TT daytonas than the SS ones.

The TT definetely has a more rich look

BigHat · 14 March 2008, 04:35 AM

I've been told to expect about $9k in trade for my SS Daytona. That means a TT Daytona for anywhere from $1,700 to $3,200 depending on the dial selected.

That's also $700 over what I paid for the SS (paid tax). Of course, AF wants $4,000 more for a SS Daytona than I paid.

Time to ponder this a bit.

Chris B · 14 March 2008, 04:36 AM

That's a great pic Allan

SS not worth the extra in my book,

Numismatist you hit the nail right on the head, reminds me of this from Ovid

DSJ · 14 March 2008, 04:55 AM

For the same price, TT is the much better option, and I prefer it over the SS anyway, particularly with the black or steel/slate dial

Jimbits76 · 14 March 2008, 05:22 AM

Allan...I love that watch. You have great choices in timepieces buddy!

If I was to buy a daytona I'd go with a preloved TT as it's not only the model I can afford (I love WG spacerock but way abopve my budget) but I also think it's a great looking watch.

As others have said, the dial options are fab and there is something about those polished gold bracelet links.

Awesome watch.

I like stainless or white gold better JMO. I don't like yellow gold jewelery either and my wedding band is white gold.

just a matter of taste

SS all the way. TT does not float my boat.

SPACE-DWELLER · 14 March 2008, 07:37 AM

Gotta agree!

Allan, this TT "Zenith" Daytona of yours is amazing!

vukotab · 14 March 2008, 08:30 AM

I like TT more than SS,when it comes to ANY Rolex!But,that`s just me...

GoldenBear · 14 March 2008, 09:41 AM

I'd take a TT Sub (Blue) over the Daytona (SS or TT) any day of the week.

chad951 · 16 March 2008, 11:45 AM

So are the new TT Daytonas available with the black/champaign sub dials "Newman" style dial?
