Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Ref. 6241 Exotic Dial Watch Available On James List
The Paul Newman Daytona - next to the Submariner range, this is of the most well-known collectible Rolex watches out there. There is a sort of mythos around the watch given the ambiguous connection to the movie star/pop culture hero, and the extreme fame that the Daytona collection later had. The story of the Paul Newman Daytona is a bit convoluted and complex. There was not just one watch, and Rolex never officially called any piece the Paul Newman Daytona.Unlike some people out there I am not an expert of Rolex watch history or Rolex collecting. In fact, the high-prices that some Rolex watches fetch at auction make me chuckle.

Finally in the IWC Owners Club. IWC Vintage Aquatimer
I bought the IWC Vintage Aquatimer that was for sell by Leicashot on the WUS forums, who I have to say is a awesome person to deal with. I've seen his amazing pictures of the watch, and it sparked this desire to own the watch. I was lucky enough to sell my Omega Speedy Pro in time to pick up this beauty.
