I need to have a major sell-off... Was offered this today:

This dial makes my heart go pitter-patter... Bracelet looks original, bezel is seemingly unpolished. I never really wanted a vintage piece, but a Newman has been a dream of mine. Sucks, as if I don't get my funds together quickly, it may be gone. Gotta get busy.

That is beautiful Greg. What are you selling to get this grail?

His soul of course!

But who could blame him?

rfknauss · 12 February 2012, 10:44 AM

Greg ........ that is just an awesome Rolex ...... hope you can get it!

sleddog · 12 February 2012, 10:44 AM

A beautiful watch most certainly Greg.......I just wish it wouldn't take up so much of the "funds" to acquire!!

Mosco · 12 February 2012, 10:45 AM

Barry, I am not sure yet. Definitely have to put one of my cars on the chopping block.

Flipping a car for it? Oh snap!

I don't think I could let my BMW M3 go for that.

Z-Sub · 12 February 2012, 10:49 AM

Nice piece there Greg. Best of luck!!

meloncap78 · 12 February 2012, 10:50 AM

Don't mean to sound odd but that Newman would look absolutely amazing with a white T and some faded jeans with a pair of black Converse. Told you I was a weird one. That is an amazing vintage piece right there. Get it whatever the flipping cost!

imono · 12 February 2012, 10:48 AM

I am not much into vintage but that one just kept me starring it.
I'll say "wow".
Hope you get it Greg.

You mentioned a few weeks ago you might get rid of the Jag. Seems like a good cause

sleddog · 12 February 2012, 10:48 AM

Jacek has one on the block ATM in the FS section......A cool 85K will get you possession!!

A true beauty indeed! My how times change, I recall a few of my elders telling me that there was a time these Daytona's did not sell and now they are coveted by collectors worldwide! These are the things that make horology buffs cry! Good luck Greg!

Mosco · 12 February 2012, 10:51 AM

Thanks folks!

Lion · 12 February 2012, 10:58 AM

Greg...simply amazing...good luck on your quest!!!

cajunron · 12 February 2012, 11:02 AM

Good luck Greg. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. That has got to be the very coolest watch of all time!

dddrees · 12 February 2012, 11:04 AM

Awesome, Good Luck Greg.

Mosco · 12 February 2012, 11:04 AM

Again, THANKS... Yep, Jag is definitely going now. I haven't driven it since getting the Jeep, so no point of having it.

Love the attitude Greg, no point in owning it to collect dust.

Good luck with the deal, amazing piece to go after.

HL65 · 12 February 2012, 11:10 AM

Hope it works out my friend if you truly want it!

Mosco · 12 February 2012, 11:22 AM

I do want it... But I have to be level-headed.

yeah...want and reality are two very different things.

That's so exciting.....good luck!

Mosco · 12 February 2012, 11:35 AM

Problem is that I can actually afford it, but should I drop nearly 60k on a vintage watch - that's another question.
