TT Daytona - Hater becoming Lover

I have to confess I have been a TT hater for a long time. Never really sang to me. More recently though I started to look at those TT Daytonas with different eyes. I saw this 116523 sunburst silver dial and was sold. Jacek and the guys over at HQ Milton sent it my way and the rest is history. What a piece. Amazing watch. Pictures just don’t do justice.

Anyone with similar experience?

A realtor I used in the past had the same one as yours. That was my first time seeing it in person and you are right, pics don't do it justice! Enjoy!

I've always thought the TT panda and blue dial Daytona's were among the best looking watches in the line.

Yours looks great, too. Congrats!

Congrats Doc! That is a nice combo with the silver and gold. Not one you see often either.

As prices on stainless Daytonas keep going into the $15-20 range, these look better and better.
Yours is beautiful, I think two tone with silver or gold dials look best. The ones with white black or blue dials make it a three tone watch and that’s too many colors IMHO.
Congrats! I was eyeing that piece on HQ for awhile and I’m glad it went to another TRFer

Thanks. I’m really excited with this piece. I’m glad I opened my mind about the TTs and considered this one.

Amazing watch. The TT to me has the classy and sophisticated edge over the SS model. I have the TT and am also waiting for the ss.

Always admired it but felt and keep on feeling hesitant because of this a bit female combo of MOP and diamonds. How does it feel? Do you get remarks of other people?

In the TT diamond stakes that is as good as it gets.

I really like the dial’s perfect symmetry.

Very nice.
