I just love it and it's the best dial that i've seen on a TT daytona so far although i think that this combination is not available cause the dial comes from the golden daytona

Wolfgang427 · 6 April 2008, 02:54 AM

I like it.

I was thinking about getting a new TT-Daytona but I'm turned off by the dial choice.

If that was available I would get it in a heartbeat.

Is there a way of ordering this kind of configuration from the AD?

If that is not possible how did this guy find the dial ?

walds11 · 6 April 2008, 03:01 AM

I like it with the black dial and champagne subdials better.

f16570 · 6 April 2008, 03:03 AM

Not for me, sorry.

Anythings possible, just not with RUSA. They consider it a frankenwatch. Yet I heard in other parts of the world the RSC's would do it, just like when you go out and buy an extra dial and not have to trade-in your old one like here in the USA.

Also any watchmaker should be able to switch the dial if you can get a hold of one.

So this means that you just go to a rolex RSC and you purchase the dial ?

What a great looking watch. I love it!

mldaytona · 6 April 2008, 03:30 AM

Are you buying one, Velitsko? If you are, a big congratulations in advance.

Yes, except in USA.

I know of people in the UK who have bought an Ice Blue DD dial and put it on a WG DD so the daytona dial would be the same. Here in the USA I had my AD offer me the TT-Daytona with the slate dial at a huge discount but passed on it because the RSC would not change the color of the dial even for a color that is offered in that model.

Trurolexer · 6 April 2008, 04:06 AM

Nice!!! I like Daytona tt. Look so elegant to me.

Dan Pierce · 6 April 2008, 04:10 AM

I like it, Velitsko.

JJ Irani · 6 April 2008, 04:12 AM

Not too bad, Frostie....but this one with the MOP dial and stunning Romans just about takes the cake!!

daytona lad · 6 April 2008, 04:18 AM

nice one, very special, go for it

The slate dial daytona is one of my favourite watches and it is in my must have list

Hope that one day i will be able to buy one

So...Expy II?
Not bad,not bad...But,listen,you already have a GMT watch,much newer and better than Exp II!Why shouldn`t you try to save for something different,like...TT Sub?Or TT TOG?Or perhaps YM?

I mean,Exp II is fantastic watch and I had it for three years,but when I get some money,I`ll certainly go for something else.
If they UPDATED Exp II...well,that`s another story,but my advice to you is that you go for something completely different than your current(BTW, fantastic) watch.Maybe something more dressy,maybe something for divers...I don`t know...

BTW,I don`t like black subdials on that spectacular Daytona...

The explorer II is going to be given as a present for my mother

When i do buy the watch i will have plenty of time to think about my future watch

Stratton · 6 April 2008, 05:35 AM

The black dial on the TT 116523 has been ruined by the feint twin circles around the subdials. Why don't they just make the black dial like they did on the 16523??? I wish it could be supplied with the black PN type dial too and would buy one then.

Jimbits76 · 6 April 2008, 05:51 AM

I like it Velitsko however JJ's pic takes first prize!!!!!

I would love a bimetal Daytona...they are beautiful.

As you guys know...I was swaying towards the DSSD but I could get a used TT Cos and a used Pepsi for that one watch!!!!!

Totally agree on this one. I sold the exact Daytona with Champagne MOP, and now missed it everyday. Looking to buy one soon, but it's so hard to find.

eb641 · 6 April 2008, 07:44 AM

..Truly a great dial, Frostie.. Wingate's {a legit web grey dealer} had one of these a few months ago. I asked the forum about it's authenticity and availability etc. Did not get a definitive answer, but it does appear that Rolex USA knows they can't provide it to an AD.. It would be actually a sin to offer a customer what he might want. Rolex now prefers to see just how BUSY their dials can be.

Thanks for the info

mdx77 · 6 April 2008, 11:36 AM

I like it..........funny thing is though, at first glance it looks like it has 3 holes in the dial.

cmr · 6 April 2008, 11:41 AM

if that combination isn't available from rolex anywhere in the world why is there a factory rolex picture from their catalog on swiss luxury's site and the watch is for sale? that watch with that dial is easy to buy.

Prefer the WG and meteorite dial.

GMTII Owner · 7 April 2008, 04:33 AM

Nice watch, but not for me.

Very good observation

Probably they are replacing the dials
