Deep Blue Dial TT Daytona

I was trying on some watches today, various Panerai and Rolex, when I found quite a surprise.

I put on the TT Daytona with the blue dial and red hands . . .

What a beautiful watch!

Truly stunning.

To me the TT Daytona is one of the nicest watches Rolex makes and very under appreciated. They are extremely beautiful out in the sun.

Agree, Art. The TT Daytonas, I really like. This one, however, was absolutely gorgeous.

Love the dial options on the TT and 18k versions of the Daytona, they are breathtaking

My pleasure

I tried one on last year on a trip o/s - haven't seen one in ADs here to have another look. I immediately loved the watch....There is a fair bit going on but it's all so well balanced and doesn't seem at all cluttered. Brilliant design by Rolex...

I was not keen on the Daytonas I had seen until I saw pictures of this one. I have not seen it in the flesh at the AD or in the wild yet but I want one!

This is definitely one watch pictures DO NOT do justice. I had seen it in pictures numerous times, but in person . . . absolutely beautiful. The colors, the balance!

The TT models in the Daytona look the classiest IMO, and the blue dial is also the best too.

Again, I agree.

It is simply gorgeous in person.

Agree!

SO frustrating, Paul.

Would, IMO, just be a wonderful combination.

Why don't all you fine folks chip in and buy that fine watch as a late Christmas present. A present for me, that is.
