Sorry if I missed that posted somewhere.

I don't think it has been revealed. Although I heard a great conjecture the other day.It could have been John Mayer who would have had the combination of major passion with Daytona and the bankroll to fund it.

The 6239 is definitely a cool model ...... but my grail watch is the Rolex Daytona Paul Newman 6241 like this one here: http://www.iconicwatchcompany.com/19...ul-newman.html Still a pump pusher but i like the bakelite bezel better. some day.
