Check out the Newman!

RW16610 · 19 June 2008, 08:49 AM

Wow, that is truly something there.

highroller · 19 June 2008, 08:52 AM

That is bad A$$

I am going to bid on it

gtbike72 · 19 June 2008, 08:55 AM

wow cant belive all the money .

one word: f--in' absurd

RW16610 · 19 June 2008, 08:59 AM

Bet back in the day in the late 1960's when it was new no one saw this coming

Sometimes the "Value" or what people decide to randomly ask says a lot. When the Submariner Date first came out in the 1950's it sold for $180.00 USD, imagine the cost to get one of those in your collection now

LOL who ever needs to charge this watch on a card and not have the ability to pay it off right away should not even look at this listing

I find that funny thought, no interest until 2009 then that comes and your

djemmtee · 19 June 2008, 09:19 AM

id hope they would attach more than 1 pic of the watch your about to pay 147k for....

RW16610 · 19 June 2008, 09:21 AM

That was in the back of my mind too.... only makes sense for anything on ebay espectially something at this cost. It is not that expensive to put up more pictures.

I know that the Paul Newman watch has quite a following.
But I'm sorry to say that the mystic is lost on me.
IMO the watch is not worth nowhere near that amount of money.

WatchTimes · 19 June 2008, 02:05 PM

If I was to buy this (I have done it at auction house)
I ALWAYS charge it on my Amex Plat or NW Visa.

The bonus points make it worthwhile! Of course I pay
the balance in full before they even send the statement
in the mail

Amex laughed when I bought a painting for a buddy at 290G
on my Amex (he is an art dealer and his card was house account
was over its limit but he had a buyer ready for the the painting)
Amex is the best! If you have a good history and call them first to
explain what you are doing they work with you.

Damn, he won't ship to an unconfirmed address.

SRTOutlaw · 19 June 2008, 07:59 PM

I will get excited when Rolex comes out with the SRTOutlaw edition daytona.

swatty · 19 June 2008, 08:10 PM

Does anyone know what that watch would have cost when it was new , Just curious.

Rolex Price Evolution.

So it would cost around 400 US $.

PLUS the only Rolex watches that you could get a nice discount on (20 % or more!) were the chronographs since they weren't really popular back then.

stnmikita · 19 June 2008, 11:13 PM

I kept looking in the posting for the part where Paul Newman actually brings the watch to you at your home after the auction ends.

Couldn't find it.

ROLEX MAN · 19 June 2008, 08:08 PM

I was looking for some small change in the back of the couch and could not find it!

Suppose we will have to put in on the Mastercard

TempoKing · 19 June 2008, 10:49 PM

Yeap...these are the prices folks for old Cosmos with exotic dial,
in fact at the used watch show in Munich were I go every 3 months,
original cosmographs with box and papers are selling for around
120-140 thousand euros, roughly (thanks to Bush) $190.000 to 220.000 thousand dollars.
