Hi guys, was contemplating this ref, TT blue arabic dial.

Does this configuration look alright or too busy, thanks in advance for the opinions!

I'm not particularly a fan of TT so I would pass on this in favor of either WG or RG. If it sings to you though I'd go for it. It's definitely a nice looking piece regardless.

redsubby · 18 August 2014, 01:24 PM

Nay because I am not into TT...

RHIII · 18 August 2014, 01:25 PM

I think it's the best looking TT model.

Nycturbovr6 · 18 August 2014, 01:27 PM

I think it looks great

Mastergreenhand · 18 August 2014, 01:34 PM

Doesn't look too busy. Good luck

Time Exposure · 18 August 2014, 01:36 PM

I'm not a fan of TT, but I make an exception for Daytona. I think blue and gold are great together (especially when they're your team colors!). Plus I like the red hands on the blue dial: dark but nice contrast of color. Arabic chapters are a nice change from sticks.
It does look busy, but is that a bad thing?

Nephro · 18 August 2014, 01:55 PM

I like it. The red hands against the blue dial is nice. IMO the two tone is not overly blingy as it is somewhat offset by the darker dial. I would say go for it!

Daytona4130 · 18 August 2014, 01:59 PM

Blue dial= yes
TT= NO

I have one so I am biased, but you will love it, I started out a doubter and love it, I think distinctive vs SS models

GoingPlaces · 18 August 2014, 02:07 PM

Looks just fine to me. Nice looking combo.

Porsche · 18 August 2014, 02:32 PM

I like it!

Love that steel blue dial

Alfredo. · 18 August 2014, 02:43 PM

Love the blue dial, but TT devaluation would kill it for me....

Eric Chan · 18 August 2014, 02:47 PM

A great choice, Patrick. The TT and blue dial are a great combination. Reminds me of the TT Sub LB. Go for it!

Looks great to me.

DCheeta · 18 August 2014, 04:44 PM

Great dial, but I'm not a TT guy. I absolutely love the WG Daytonas.

viper9669 · 18 August 2014, 06:33 PM

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I went to try it out, it did not sing to me this time, perhaps another time!👍

Yeah I understand ,the blue was a bit too sedated for me irl. Panda TT would be my choice.

regnant · 19 August 2014, 05:30 PM

It looks great , I like tt . My problem is the the way Rolex fix the numerals onto the dial , Roman dials look same too but Arabic looks weird at 8 7 5 4

RMC12 · 16 October 2014, 06:56 PM

Daytona is the only model I would go for in TT. I do like the blue dial but my preference would be the Panda dial.

PanosI · 16 October 2014, 07:01 PM

What it looks busy on the photo is just perfect on the wrist

i prefer this TT configuration

I like the combination of that dial with the TT. I looked at that one and ended up getting the WG model with that hand/dial combination in slate and like the way the arabic numerals are large and every marker has lume. It also provides a much less expensive option to get a dial with arabic numerals and red subdial hands which are only available on precious metal models. The only thing I would have preferred is that they made the chrono second hand in red also, but I understand they likely didn't do it because the second/minute markers going around the dial (not sure of the correct terminology) only have red at the 5 second/minute marks. I know this is an easy fix, but my personal preference is to leave a watch in original form with the exception of liking the way the RubberB deployment strap looks on some models.

The bottom line is.....

If you love it, grab it. We can and will give our opinions all day long, but yours is the only one that counts at the end of the day.

locutus49 · 16 October 2014, 08:56 PM

I just bought a Daytona and went with Roman numerals, as I prefer them. They are not luminous, but the hands are.

I do not care for TT, but that is personal preference. Yes, all Daytonas look a little busy but you get used to it. Pateks with complications look busy too. Just the nature of complications.
