If going TT I'd be tempted to try to find a Zenith. Enjoy whatever you choose.

I'd pass. That five o'clock lug looks badly overpolished.

Not my favorite TT, but if you like it you should buy it.

As others have said here and in the other Heras, seriously poorly over polished lugs.

Out of all the available TT models that Rolex sales I think the Daytona looks the worst. If I wanted a TT I would go with a DJ/GMT/Sub. Daytona looks best in SS or PM.

Classic sports piece. Pretty much what I imagine when I think Daytona. Very nice. Lugs do look massively overpolished though. Careful with condition.

+1. I thought it was just the angle at first, but yeah, that 5 o'clock lug is missing a good amount of metal.
