Hi guys,

First post on here. So I currently have the rolex batman and I'm looking for a TT watch to add to my collection. My Ad told me that he could get me the TT datejust 41 Wimbledon or TT daytona Black Dial.

One of the concerns I have had about the daytona is that the gold bezel is a scratch magnet...

Thanks for your input.

Daytona every time

Emery · 25 January 2023, 06:19 PM

Daytona for sure.

Driver8 · 25 January 2023, 08:32 PM

I'm not much of a Daytona fan, but in this instance I'd choose the Daytona a million times over.

Two reasons why - firstly I find the Wimbledon dial to be a truly hideous looking thing! And secondly, the DJ41 runs the 3235 (which can be problematic if you get a bad one) while the Daytona runs the universally fantastic 4130.

It's an absolute no brainer IMO.

It can be a scratch magnet, yes, whereas (assuming you would go for a fluted bezel DJ) the DJ's bezel will scratch as easily but hide the scratches better.

The more obvious factor in deciding for me, is whether I’d want a chronograph vs, a date time complication.

Wear and tear will happen to both watches regardless. YMMV

Daytona - looking at it myself and I have the BLNR

Robf52 · 25 January 2023, 10:54 PM

Daytona all day.

DJH1977 · 25 January 2023, 10:59 PM

Another vote for Daytona.

slm9555 · 26 January 2023, 01:39 AM

Daytona in that comparison, however there are other nice TT dj that might be better. I have the rose gold TT with chocolate dial and it’s pretty nice!

Daytona!

MrMikee · 26 January 2023, 03:46 AM

TT Wimbledon fluted on jubilee is beautiful in my opinion. Not a fan of the Daytona in this combo. I would save the Daytona request for a different combo!

If I couldn’t get my black SS Daytona, I would have asked for the black TT Daytona … It is a gorgeous watch!

I think the TT black dial Daytona is one of the sexiest watches in the catalogue. Good luck!

rmlovett1 · 10 February 2023, 10:40 PM

Between these two…Daytona

DJ2020 · 10 February 2023, 10:54 PM

DJ, fluted bezel and jubilee for me. Easier to conceal scratches, A date and I can read the dial. I like chronographs as well, But no love for the Daytona. I like a chrono as a instrument, clean legible dial that I can clearly see. And a date!

Always wondered that if you were designing a chronograph complication, why not at least add a date function? Or day function, moon phase, split seconds or any number of useful things.

samson66 · 11 February 2023, 12:14 AM

Daytona all the way. I have a SS DJ41 and really enjoy it, but the TT Wimbledon is just a little too much going on for me.

TwoToneHappy · 11 February 2023, 01:00 AM

Daytona just because of the hype (: but I agree with some posters there are nicer TT DJ41 options than the Wimbledon dial which I find too busy especially as there is already a lot going on with the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet (assuming that’s one as it’s the most classic).

Laostuh · 11 February 2023, 05:34 AM

Daytona no question.

Mystro · 11 February 2023, 05:45 AM

Welcome to the forum and one of the most unequal comparisons to make. Of course a TT Daytona is what you get if your AD can truly get you one.

Tools · 11 February 2023, 05:50 AM

Scratch magnet

Krash · 11 February 2023, 12:56 PM

I’d go with the Wimbledon if it also has a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Otherwise I’d get the Daytona.

Congratulations, you found the only Daytona I wouldn’t vote for.

The Daytona is my favorite Rolex model but I do not care for the TT black dial. And I happen to be a big fan of the Wimbledon dial. Best DJ dial available.

The DJ will also make a nice change-up from your other Rolex sports model.
