Hi guys. happy new year to all! I have been SAVING AND SAVING for my "grail" watch for the past 4 years...a Paul newman daytona..white dial with black subdials. I am now looking around for some good deals...but I need some motivation!!!!!!! If you own one, or have found some nice photos out there, please post them, and if anyone has an original set. box, accessories etc. PLEASE post photos. This is a VERY exciting time for me and I would appreciate the input!!! thanks!!!!

I don't have any photos, but I saw one in London in November. It was beautiful, with box and papers. I'm not sure about the good deal statement. If I remember correctly he wanted 40,000 GBP for it. What's that hum $60,000. Don't know what they sell for usually.

Ive seen prices anywhere from 60,000 USD to 150,000 USD. for a newman daytona..I would consider the 60,000USD a pretty 'good' deal.

I'm almost trying to convince myself now he wanted 65,000 GPB, which is about $95K. I guess based on you comment and the condition of the watch it may still be a good deal.

Just be very careful mate. People can put in real Daytona movement/case etc accompanied with a fake dial to make a "PN". Since 90% of the money is in the dial you really need real expert advice to determine the authenticity of the piece (e.g. the "3" in the three subdials are all different), unless you have taken it to RSC for verification

P.S. Someone even tried to sell one here previously... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=41095
Sorry the photos are all deleted (by the original poster)...

P.P.S. I've been advised that the link I refer to was a real non PN 6263. However, the link that Steve pointed to in his reply showed a fake PN posted by the member who tried to sell that non PN 6263. Sorry for the confusion.
