Paul Newman Daytona

[Big A]

Hi guys, been reading up on the Paul Newman Daytona, but there seems to be a lack of pictures of them. Can any of you post up pics from your archives or even if you are lucky enough to own one please?

Have searched the forum, but seems to come up with a lot of unrelated topics and posts.

Many thanks

Here is a thread with a link to one on Ebay.

Thanks guys Did the Newman come in just the white face? Sure I've seen a red face somewhere

There was indeed a "Red Daytona", as well, sporting the "Newman" AKA "Exotic" subdials.

Thanks Bo, do you know if there were any other colours? Read the Daytona Saga there which was excellent and mentioned just black and white dials. Also did some of them say "Oyster" on the dial above "Cosmograph"?

Only "coloured" PN Daytona was the "Red" Daytona. It's as rare as hen's teeth, btw.

About dial scripts, see this article. Note that there are 3 pages in the article (scroll down to see page 2 and 3).

www.doubleredseadweller contains a lot of nice info, as well.
