Thinking of Some TT !!

Hi all

I have recently had a yearning for something TT to add to my collection

I have all SS pieces an Expo II (16570), A Sub (14060M) and Sub LV (16610)
I also have a DJ TT model in mid size that was my first ever Rolex (this get no wear at all now I have discovered sports models

Over the weekend we went into London and checked out a couple of shops, I was hoping Burling Arcade would be open to have a wonder round and try a few models on there but being a Sunday most of the shops were closed there.

I was thinking of a 16610 TT with black face (never really fancied a Blusey) until I spotted one on the train journey on the way

Tried on this beauty Daytona TT with white face and black Sub dials


Really stunning watch and was told of the price increase as from today.

Next up was a 116610 Blusey this surprised me as I have always thought the newer models were a bit to chuncky for me but this put that myth to be (I think)

Then Last up came another TT Daytona with blue face again this was stunning but I an wondering if the bezel being gold is too much

Price wise a TT 16610 might be a better buy value wise? £10k on a single watch that is for special occasions might not be pratical as I could get another 2 watches for that

The Panda TT Daytona and the blue dialed TT Dayona I do not think you could go wrong with. The TT sub is a great piece but it sounds like you already have the sea portion of your collection pretty well covered; for mere balance I would go towards the other two IMHO. Regardless, enjoy whatever you buy and wear it in good health.

All very nice! Can't go wrong with any of them. For my money, I'd get the 116613.

What about the Black TT sub I would have liked to have tried that one on, are there less of them around as most for sale seem to be blue

Either Daytona gets my vote... A tough choice for me. Blue dial or the Panda... Both beauties

Tough call. Probably buy the TT Blue dial Sub.

Mate i would stay away from two tone watches.

Go for a gold daytona on strap or something if you got the gold bug.

Cheers
