If you go for a SS white dial, definitely hunt down a Zenith

......the black sub dials and layout offer such a nice contrast. The newer in-house movement SS White dial Daytonas are quite frankly boring.

If you go TT, then there's only one choice.........the mighty Panda!!!!!

Down below, my old Zenith......

I like the one on the left

You will know when you try it on. Pictures won't help until you just see it on your wrist for yourself.

I went with the black ss daytona.

Rolexmarc · 30 May 2014, 09:15 AM

Black SS Daytona. You can where it anywhere. Looks amazing with any outfit. Just my opinion.

GsurgBM · 30 May 2014, 10:22 AM

I prefer this. Dresses up slightly better than the white dial to me.

Racerdj · 30 May 2014, 10:27 AM

May I suggest this model?

peticks · 30 May 2014, 01:13 PM

TT- panda or blue looks great! But, I opted for the SS white because it would be an ideal daily watch!

If your going TT....this would look great with your TT black dial sub.

I don't have a Daytona but for a long time really wanted a ss or tt version. For awhile some tt's looked like bargains, which tilted my interest even more in that direction. I was mostly interested in a white dial model because I've got several black dial watches. Then, I stumbled onto the tt with gray dial and was very impressed. Pictures never do that watch justice, but that was a great looking Daytona. Good luck.

Daytona is a must have. 6263 is my grail, in the meantime I wear this 16520 from 1991

Well you wanted a TT and you are rather lucky the wonderful Panda dial comes in TT as otherwise it is only for the gold models so I would go for it.

locutus49 · 11 June 2014, 05:09 AM

You should definitely stop by a large AD and ask for Volume #1 of the Rolex Magazine, which has the Platona on the cover and is dedicated to the Daytona. They should still have a couple issues squirreled away under the display case. Some great Daytona porn inside.

kbutler1 · 11 June 2014, 06:59 AM

For the SS model, I really like the black dial

zama · 11 June 2014, 10:03 PM

No need to go to an AD just about every combination is here to look at! I do like the look of the blue face TT. I happen to also love my one, but as said by others there are NO BAD DAYTONAS pick on what you like and what budget you have.

rootbeer7 · 12 June 2014, 04:47 AM

Tried on tt with panda face. I love it more than any other. Probably my next one! SS is classic, but just doesn't feel right.

Lew Archer · 12 June 2014, 04:59 AM

I went for the SS model with the white dial. Stunning watch, a pleasure to own and wear.

kenm · 12 June 2014, 06:48 AM

I was afraid this might happen - the more I look at all the photos, the All YG devil on my shoulder starts talking softly in my ear.

bparone · 12 June 2014, 08:37 AM

I preferred the panda in TT...until, I tried it on and preferred the blue arabic. Go figure.

If you can afford it or need to save for a bit then go for the gold, otherwise you will just trade in your TT for one in a few months, so save yourself the hassle.

kenm · 14 June 2014, 02:31 AM

I had a very hard time picking my YG DDII because of the many dial options. I finally went with Ivory Arabic and love the watch. But with the YG Daytona, there are even more options. I think I'm down to White Stick, Champagne Stick, and Panda. I think I'm leaning to White Stick. But there seems to be strong attraction here on TRF for Panda. That really is beautiful too, but I think the red in the sub dials turns me off a little.

Can anyone post pics of these in YG? Thanks!

Also, should I hold out for a Zenith? There is actually one now in the Classifieds.
