I am in the waiting list for a ceramic SS Daytona( for a few months now) and this AD where I have bought some pieces before was offering me the TT Daytona. I want to wait for the SS ceramic, but they told me it may be many years, I do not know what to do, should I get the TT or wait for the ceramic? , I am in South FL.

Wait. Why waste money on a watch you don’t desire

Yeah, same. I was offered the 503 twice, once in black and once in white. It's not the same. Just wait.

Mandy01 · 31 July 2019, 10:34 AM

Agree, that is why I am waiting, I really want the SS either black or white, just concerned that probably never will be called for the SS

Steerpike999 · 31 July 2019, 10:40 AM

Try on the TT Daytona, if you like it, buy it. Worst case you will have a beautiful watch to wear while waiting for the SS Daytona. If you don't like it then don't buy it.
I personally don't like the ceramic bezel on the current SS Daytona

donald83 · 31 July 2019, 10:53 AM

I tried the TT Daytona and it looks great.

Yes they will :) You know it.. get the TT and within the next 6-8 weeks your other one will be ready. LOL.

I think a TT Daytona with black dial on Oysterflex would look smashing.

But that’s about the extent of my desire for a TT. Maybe a DJ if you’re going for that retro 80s thing.

Roger Lococco · 31 July 2019, 11:01 AM

Wait.

I already owned a DJ 41 TT on jubilee, fluted bezel and the sub 114060, was really looking forward for a SS ceramic Daytona, hulk or batman, they seem impossible to get.

42itus · 31 July 2019, 11:07 AM

By all means, don't spend $14K on a watch that you don't really want! You only have two choices, wait or go grey.

zesty55 · 31 July 2019, 11:10 AM

gotta follow your heart. south FL is a good place for your heart to incorporate some yellow gold tho. :-D

You should find something else to do. These threads have become comical.

Come on Rolex. I KNOW you are reading these things. This poor guy doesn't know what to do. How can you cause such havoc on the general population for a watch that costs you....$3,500 to make? Fully costed?

You know, I think their advertising during the recent televised sports events may have had subliminal messaging.

I was at Kirk’s jewelers in downtown Miami last week. They have a TT Daytona. It was beautiful.

broham84 · 31 July 2019, 12:42 PM

Try the black dial 116503, I personally think it looks awesome.

csaltphoto · 31 July 2019, 01:27 PM

I may be in the minority here but I think the TT Daytona's are really good looking. It seems to suit the watch.

Rado63 · 31 July 2019, 01:36 PM

If you are here then you might be interested in watches that have exclusive followings. If so welcome to the new millennium, because Rolex seem to want exclusivity to be the marketing department. If you are young enough to wait, then wait. If you are wealthy enough to buy watches and jewelry you don't want then buy these items and move up the list with your AD. Otherwise, if you have enough cash to buy now, go buy the watch you want today and start enjoying.

bay-dweller · 31 July 2019, 01:39 PM

You're not going to stop wanting the ceramic Daytona, and eventually you will be able to buy one.
So the question is will you still wear the TT after you get the ceramic?
If you will stop wearing the TT at some point, you need to do the math and figure out how much its going to cost you to 'rent' it until your ceramic arrives.

dadonn2 · 31 July 2019, 01:46 PM

I'll be a little contrarian here and say go for it while you wait if you're feeling the TT at all. It's fun to be in the game so to speak and generally, the cost of ownership of a Rolex is pretty low and it's not going to hurt your efforts towards getting a ceramic and just might grow on you all the more. I've come to really love the sea dweller by owning one whereas I previously liked it but wasn't entirely sure.

s46 · 31 July 2019, 01:57 PM

get the two tone before those are unavailable - waiting for a ceramic is a pipe dream - the best Daytona ever was not a ceramic - the ceramic is nice but the hype is bordering on ridiculous now

weaseldriver · 31 July 2019, 02:59 PM

Wait another day to decide and your problem will be solved because that TT will be gone.

Wait. You want to look at your wrist to see what you’ve wanted and smile, not look at your wrist to see what you settled for and wonder.

imgook · 31 July 2019, 03:37 PM

Indefinite wait vs TT now. Tough decision.

BisonHead · 31 July 2019, 03:47 PM

I really like the TT, although if your set on the SS i would wait.

faimag · 31 July 2019, 04:31 PM

I have both SS and TT and love both. My advice is to try the TT and buy only if you like it. Don't buy it as a compromise.

kwingy · 31 July 2019, 06:00 PM

I do wonder if you bought the TT Daytona, would the many years wait suddenly drop a little...

glamorama · 31 July 2019, 06:21 PM

Get a TT with exotic dial like the blue or panda with arabics, if you like them.
