My thoughts exactly on the vintage look with the modern robustness. Enjoy it!

Well, since he had help from his friends, I’m thinking either they used their clout with an AD or gave him $200k or so….

Absolute winner! Congratulations to you!
But can you define “a little help”. I’d like to be friends with your friends. :) |

Congrats on getting the watch you wanted.
With due respect, last I checked the Newman Daytona was an actual ‘panda,’ white dial with black subdials. This is the inverse. This would contradict any “design languages of the vintage Newman Daytona.” Please correct me if I’m wrong. |

THE MOTHER OF ALL INCOMINGS!
WOW! Good for you man. I saw DavidSW has one for sale for $272k! I can’t imagine they made more than 100 of these references and many ADs have these shoe horned away! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OP has won TRF.
Although it makes me wonder what the rarest watch on TRF is… A bit tricky to define, I know. What was the allocation process? Did it require approval from Rolex HQ in CH? Or purely at discretion of AD? Not that I know how they decided which ADs would get one (or more). |

Congrats on the huge score!
Personally, I would like to know more about how you actually achieved this with the help of your friends. Everyone buy a share of the watch and rotate it on a monthly basis :). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

First and only Le Man’s incoming shared on TRF, I believe.
Congratulations OP, you deserve a victory lap. I would also love more details on the allocation process but I understand if you want to keep that private. You don’t owe us anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
