Rolex UK quietly acknowledging the "Paul Newman" dial....

Good morning all,

This was one of my watches after service at Rolex UK, on top of one of their service acknowledgements. Note the text in the pencil circle at the bottom. Rather nice provenance in an area of collecting where so often people question what is real and what is not !



With kind regards,

Haywood

Beautiful piece! I went to a travelling Daytona exhibition last year put on by Rolex with several watches and some artifacts, and a small, mint selection of what the signage described as Paul Newmans.

Lovely watch and nice to have the document. I wonder if anyone's got a 'McQueen' reference on a document from Rolex!

Very interesting. I wonder how they previously differentiated the dials.
