I agree that price is VERY optimistic, however its been said that the PN's will hit US$200k by years end.

The seller has a DJ for sale too - in that listing they describe themselves as 'lenders of last resort'.

Maybe not people you argue with about the price?!!

Well the above Ebay link one looks like a much later model to me, and not really a what they call the Paul Newman. They are just jumping on the Newman band waggon and Know sod all about watches. Screw down pushers did not come in till the late 1970s with the 6263/5.And the so called Newman's would have square markers within the sub registers,and earlier Newman Chronographs had just simple round pushers.Look and learn below is what they call a Paul Newman or with the white/black combination dial,or any other exotic three colour dial type plus folded link riveted bracelet.

These are very good looking watches - I love them but, think of what else you could buy. I could get 19 GMTIIcs

14 MSRP Daytonas...

Wow--that is an amazing price. Still, I am guessing he is a knowledgible guy so it will be interesting to see if anyone is interested. I assume Rolex was using the El Primero Chronograph movement from Zenith at that time.

Well as to the Ebay guy being Knowledgeable I would doubt it,otherwise he would know its not a true Newman Very greedy perhaps and not worth anyway near the price he quotes . And regarding movements at this time Rolex was using a ETA Valjoux 72 series in models from late 60s to the introduction of the Zenith around 1988. Rolex have before used ETA Valjoux various movements in most of there chronographs since the 1940s.The one from ebay is quite a bit later looks like a 6265 from late 70s-80s.

There's already a bid on this one.

I wonder whether it's for real.

Its not for me.
I'm going to visit an AD this weekend, who has got in stock a GMT II "ICE" at a very cooool £256,500
I hope to have the opportunity to try it on, as that will probably be the nearest that I get to wearing a watch that costs,that much.
