: That's a Paul Newman Daytona. Those run at least $80,000 I think,
: based on condition and such.

David,

I hate to disagree but a Paul Newman is sort of like this watch but not really. This watch has a dial with the subs tick marked the same as on the watch most generally considered to be a Paul Newman but the classic Paul Newman has a white dial with black outer ring with red ticks and matching black subs (panda). It is a cool looking watch but not really Paul Newman in the classic sense. Mr Newman did have a black dialed Daytona with white subs but his had a black bezel as far as I know.

This watch is sort of a polar opposite Newman. I admit to not having updated my vintage Daytona knowledge in a while. I used to buy them years ago when they were still under $10,000 but don't pay much attention now. Maybe the definition has changed.

Please correct me if I am wrong...but I don't think so.

Best
