I think the TT would be a better deal. I also prefer the look of the TT models over the SS. Although the new SS with the red numbers on the dial, looks very elegant. I don't know the model number, but it's the main Daytona on the Rolex website if you click on "Daytona". Very nice looking watch indeed.

Fros your ready to pull the big trigger?

ADs will sell the TT for a discount (up to 20% I believe) off MRSP but maybe not for the S/S version. So if you're asking which one is the better bargain, I'd have to say the TT. Also the TT has greater dial choices. Then again, the S/S is supposed to be one of the world's most sought-after watches, so it's all up to you to decide what's important to you...Good luck!

Yeah i think i've made my decision but firstly it's too early for me (thinking of pulling the triger by the end of this year i'm just doing my homework now), secondly i want to wait for basel and lastly i gotta start researching the market for good deals. Crossing my fingers and hoping that basel will not release any watch that will grab my attention because then i will be doomed again as i'll have to wait until it hits the AD's to check it out and form a decision

Well good things come to those who wait !

The value of SS daytone is mainly due to demand & supply. You need to pay a premium to buy it at market price. The premium may be paid by cash; long time waiting or the favour of your watch dealer.

In Hong Kong, Cash market price of 116520 was HK$9X,XXX in 2007. Early Oct. '07, I sent my friend's white daytone to a pawn shop for HK$70,000 in cash and the very same day, I purchased a 116523G at HK$80,xxx.

At present, the cash price of 116520 is only HK$75,XXX (list price HK$69,XXX) whereas you need to pay for almost HK$100,000 for a 116523G and the pawn only offers HK$5X,XXX for 116520.

I don't think SS daytona really holds its value better as the premium due to speculative demand can change.
