I need a Daytona for my collection - they are really beautiful watches, and very different from the other Rolex models. All gold is gorgeous, but not in the cards right now. At the other end of the cost spectrum, the SS White model is beautiful, but I think I'd rather go with TT. I have a TT Sub and really love it. The Daytona TT with Gray dial is striking. Which TT model speaks to you the loudest?

jjnd08 · 29 May 2014, 12:32 PM

Tough choice. Panda and blue are both nice.

I wouldn't rule out the SS though, it's stunning and iconic.

landroverking · 29 May 2014, 12:33 PM

Whichever you choose will be great in your collection.
TT Zenith Daytonas seem to be the best deal right now.

ahafs1 · 29 May 2014, 12:33 PM

Yeah agree, don't rule out the SS models. I have a black faced Daytona however do like the look of the white face.

thomaspp · 29 May 2014, 12:34 PM

Nice. TT blue dial would be my choice for a TT Daytona. May find one in the for sale section here (saw one or two recently).

tkerrmd · 29 May 2014, 12:37 PM

One of these, but honestly prefer them in YG, I also think SS may be the way to go?!

Nycturbovr6 · 29 May 2014, 12:57 PM

Ss white dial would be my choice

skywood · 29 May 2014, 01:02 PM

SS black dial for me.

alubin · 29 May 2014, 01:05 PM

ss white and white gold panda are my favorites. Good luck with all those choices!

CWIN · 29 May 2014, 01:25 PM

WG with the panda dial is my favorite (outside the platinum) for SS I like the white dial

Starbucksboss · 29 May 2014, 01:32 PM

Never seen a dial on a Daytona I dislike...I do prefer the 'stick' dials though as the other tends too look to busy...all gorgeous though!

I Agree!

AK797 · 29 May 2014, 08:12 PM

TT Panda would be my pick, unless you go full gold.

Muzz · 29 May 2014, 08:28 PM

TT blue is wow!!! Very nice dial!

Sobe · 29 May 2014, 08:39 PM

Love the TT!

Charles1977 · 29 May 2014, 08:39 PM

Tt panda or blue dial are stunning to me.

Wow. That is gorgeous. I believe that would be my pick of the two tones as well.

Kiddodoc · 29 May 2014, 09:48 PM

Have the TT Daytona with the white/gold face. Beautiful watch and a little more bling than the panda. Both nice watches.

goog53 · 29 May 2014, 09:50 PM

Ss white dial

Dr.Smellody · 29 May 2014, 10:23 PM

This is mine. Love it!

kenm · 29 May 2014, 10:34 PM

Thanks for the great advice and beautiful photos!

What is Panda? I'm new to the Daytona line.

kenm · 29 May 2014, 10:36 PM

Also, what is the Zenith?

Thanks!

afc1 · 29 May 2014, 11:12 PM

I had a white stick dial TT Daytona that I have since sold. I really enjoyed that watch. Other dial colors that stand out to me are black stick, blue Arabic (this one especially) and white Arabic.

subtona · 29 May 2014, 11:20 PM

SS white or black… no regrets.

TT?

Rolex developed their own movement - the 4130 for the Daytona in 2000 (116520). Prior to that the movement was a Zenith (16520).

In my humble opinion the SS white dial... I also have a TT sub and I love it but I really feel the Daytona is at its best in the classic and understated SS. Other than that white gold.

White face. Black subdials.

MrRothstein · 30 May 2014, 03:05 AM

Make sure to see them all in person -

I all but had my mind made up on champagne or slate then went to see them all including white and black and ended up loving the white!

kaseri · 30 May 2014, 03:52 AM

Ref. 116520 has always been my favorite,

rmfnla · 30 May 2014, 04:05 AM

I prefer the red spyder with a tan interior...

Oops, sorry; wrong Daytona...
