I have been thinking about my next watch, have not totally decided between a stainless daytona, deep sea, or GMT. I ran across a pretty good deal on a stainless and gold daytona. I am wanting your opinions between a stainless daytona and a stainless and gold daytona?

TheVTCGuy · 25 August 2010, 11:43 AM

Bombay, since I own the stainless, I am going to suggest you go that way (of course). The TT are exceptionally beautiful watches, I am just not very much of a (yellow) Gold kind of guy, just my personal preference.

Whichever way you go, you're NOT going to be dissapointed.

Dr.Brian · 25 August 2010, 11:45 AM

I'd go with the TT daytona and put it on a strap with a genuine rolex clasp.

timeisfathaoftruth · 25 August 2010, 11:48 AM

I am going to be in the minority.

Between the SS and TT daytona I'd go with the TT (as long as it was a pre-owned TT).
Reason: More choices in the dials and less expensive.

sea-dweller · 25 August 2010, 11:49 AM

I'd go with SS...

Art 1 · 25 August 2010, 11:49 AM

Have the SS version, would recommend the TT version. Much nicer looking. One of the nicest TT watches, IMO.

tkc324 · 25 August 2010, 01:01 PM

I am partial to ss daytona... but if you get a TT and want to consider resell.... tt is the way to go. Both are stunnig watches!

fc3s2k · 25 August 2010, 01:40 PM

SS black dial!!

ObscureLight · 25 August 2010, 01:43 PM

TT daytonas are very nice I think they look much better than ss.

esm · 25 August 2010, 06:39 PM

TT Daytona - if you can get a great deal and a dial you are happy with.

less common in the wild imo!

IMO the TT's don't hold their price like the SS.

If you buy new at somewhere close to list, a TT Daytona will lose considerable value as soon as it no longer becomes an new, unworn piece.

If you buy new at list, a SS Daytona will lose less value off of the bat, and have a far better chance of being worth more than what you paid (although that is no longer the guaranteed thing like it used to be before Rolex raised the list price of the 116520 to basically over $10K+ out the door of an AD).

Used TT Daytonas lose way more value both percentage-wise and actual dollars than their SS brethren. Check out what each typically is offered for on the secondary market, and compare to what the original pricetag of those particular models ran when they were first released.

Completely with you on this one, Eric. With the blue Arabic dial, the TT Daytona is one of the best looking watches in the world, in my opinion

Love the look of a TT, only issue is as soon as a TT hits my wrist and I see the contrast against my pale Scandinavian hide, I can't wait to get it off.

SS for me - got one waiting for me

HL65 · 25 August 2010, 07:45 PM

I would go SS if it were me but it's not so go where your heart leads you!!

I've gotta know Puffy - are you on he right or the left?

dddrees · 25 August 2010, 09:47 PM

I saw a TT just last week, I think it is a gorgeous watch. I have been wanting the SS version, but had I not already purchased 3 watches this year I would have probably pulled the trigger on the TT.

Have to agree with you although not a huge fan of the modern day Daytona,just cannot fo the life of me see why,at the peek of Daytona fever, some were paying almost as much for the SS as a TT.Perhaps it was just because the S.Steel was hard to get or just purely a must have at the time fashion thing.

kcmo · 26 August 2010, 01:54 AM

SS for me (or YG)....not a fan of the TT.

Dr. Robert · 26 August 2010, 01:56 AM

I like the TT daytona w/ the champagne/black sub dials Paul Newman style dial.

EchoBlueUK · 26 August 2010, 02:16 AM

TT gets my vote.

jamesworthy52 · 26 August 2010, 02:22 AM

I would go with the SS without question.

TSW · 26 August 2010, 07:37 PM

Bought a TT Daytona this summer but sold it after two days.
Realized i prefer solid gold or SS.
