Paul Newman wearing an automatic black dial Daytona
All pushers unscrewed in the typical Newman-style! Regards Smith |

Well one thing's for sure..... time definitely waits for no man........ not even the great Paul Newman.....
When famous people drop out of the spot light, it's always a shock when they reappear years later especially when you have old films constantly being played on TV to remind you of their younger days..... Paul was 83 when he died in 2008 so that must have been taken around that time..... So still looking pretty good for an Octogenarian And one of my favourite actors of all time.....cool Daytona too |

Mr. Newman many have dropped from the supermarket tabloids but he was always quite active in the racing world and other business endeavors until his death.

Hard to recognize him in that pic, saw him in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid the other night. I wonder why the crown is unscrewed though.

nice pic. Thanks for posting.
looks like he must have had several throughout his years. makes one wonder if in 30 years, some rolex models will be known as the 'afleck', 'pitt' or 'craig' models for collectors....? some reason, i doubt it. |

Great pic Dan, thanks for sharing. Perfect example of adapting a comfortable bracelet to a favorite watch. Rolex Marketing should take a cue...as comfortable as an old sweatshirt...

An American classic. Never seen that pic before. I have seen him wearing a WG black dial Daytona on a black strap.

He would have been 87 on January 26th.
EDIT: January 26th of this year, that is, as he was born in 1925.

Why did he leave the crown unscrewed?
