I'm guessing Paul Newman since you just got the platinum version and the Daytona bug has bit you hard.

Two more pics. One my daughter helped me compose last night, and the second from this morning. Putting it in the bank box for a bit to prolong the anticipation....

Is the pearl whiter or is it just a reflection? Anyways, one of the most beautiful 5512 exclamation point dial I've ever seen. The tritium plots are awesome and so are the hands. Really nice watch indeed!
