My favorite Daytona

I haven't been posting much due to work, but I was wearing this watch today and remembered this old grainy photo.

+1. PN dials make the watch. That is why on the Rolex website, they display the yellow gold Daytona example with a Paul Newman dial (champagne dial w black subdials).

Hey Otto,

I tried that very watch on recently while on vacation in Maui - at Barron & Leeds. I thought of you when I asked the salesman to take it out of the case!

Hope you are well.
