Two Tone Daytona Black Face

I never had a Daytona in my collection. I'm not quite familiar with this model as compared to the other Daytona's… Need your Opinion… Is it worth having this model?

If you're into TT black faced Daytonas, certainly.

If you're open to full SS model, that would be my suggestion for a first Daytona. The TT is not seeing the same love in the resale market in case you dislike it and want to make a trade/flip later on...

I like mine, but I did buy very good condition second hand for same $'s as SSin used market, to Paul's point I would not pay a premium new but I guess if you like new they are a lovely watch. I am very happy, good looking watch.

I am sure someone will claim the hands are hard to see on a black face, personally I don't get that, never had an issue I am in my 40's and my eyes are far from perfect!!!!!!

TT black dial Daytona very nice. The zenith models are priced nice compared to newer models.

I had a Zenith tt Daytona but bought the white dial as it was easier to read.

I had a tt zenith with gold dial but RSCNY put in a white dial for visibility reasons. Wasn't really a fan of the model until I tried it an and now I can't part with it. Happy hunting.
