What's funny is that on that linked page is a comment posted by a banned TRF member about the forum, and trying to get permission to come back.

VinSub1680 · 14 April 2011, 11:14 AM

cool PN. who got the watch btw.

Michael M. · 14 April 2011, 11:23 AM

Awesome screw down PN, also has the RCO dial! Amazing price!

But isn't there some ambiguity as to the originality of the three color dials? Was a thread on VRF that John Mayer took part in discussing it a couple of years ago.

Wrong dial- you speak of the Mayer dial not the RCO dial. It is an amazing tropical specimen. I have seen 4 of these in my life and this being the only tropical one. This is an old article which I saw when it auctioned off last year or so. What a stunner!!

Ps- there is no ambiguity of the 3 color dials - only the Mayer dial-of which I make no comment either way!

Whoever won this watch is one lucky guy! Can't get over the RCO dial gone tropical!!!!!!!!!!
Like just having a 3CRCO dial wasn't enough you had to take it further!

another hodinkee promotion ...whats that all about ?

the watch was bought by Davide parmigani..probably the worlds most prominent and exclusive dealer of high end watches based in Italy..

BB83 · 14 April 2011, 01:47 PM

That is a truly amazing watch -- wish I had an extra half mil lying around

BB83 · 14 April 2011, 01:49 PM

And now, for post #300 on this great forum!!

dsio · 14 April 2011, 02:03 PM

I'd rather have the red PN than this because red Daytona's go faster
