Great image work, Imran.
I have all about given hope that Rolex will revisit its past. Especially a controversial watch like Paul Newman Daytona. I can dream but the is getting shorter. The latest Explorer II further strengthen that belief. However I applause Rolex making these bold step forward. Maybe another 20+ years we’ll start loving all these new design.
My only regret is my wrist isn’t growing in tandem with the diameter of these new model.

Some Rolex Dreams
I think it's fair to say that the Newman Daytona is the grail for many a vintage Rolex lover. The problem, its also become a cult item, a status symbol. Popstars, footballers and racing drivers to name but a few now vie regularly with WIS to obtain one. T...
Well, Imran, like you I would love to see something in relation with the P.N design.
But like you, I fear we are very far from it... Surprising, when you compare with the last Tudor Chrono " Heritage ", which " sticks " to the patrimony, while Rolex goes far from its roots. The latest Daytona? Not for me, clearly. But we don't have to all...
Imran.....
I'd like to share some thoughts. Lets imagine Rolex gave us something on PN that you suggest. It still won't cut it for you. You see, the vintage PN is so desirable for reasons that are not easily put into words. Take the Mona Lisa. Technically, it is a l...
I confirm, Baron ...
That these 24 hours spent with YOUR P.N were an unfrogettable ( and almost traumatizing ) experience. Living, even for a shirt time, with this watch on your wrist, is really something, and helps you to better understand why so many people are running afte...
Hi Baron...I know, I had 6239 and a 6262 PN in the 90's.... :(
oh and a 6265 Paul Newman with box and papers...... go on shoot me....I deserve it...
excellent....
in which case you know what I am talking about. 6239 is probably my favourite, followed by the 62 and 64. When wearing the 62, i have been known to jump tall buildings.
Great image work, Imran.

interesting thread but here are my two honest cents
Well knowing how much costs a vintage 6238, 6239, 6263 and 6265 plus the quasi unavailability of spare parts for calibre 722 and 727 , you would be in shock to hear of what costs to service valjoux 72 based rolex calibre, it used to cost over 1000€ ...
Interesting idea...
and I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the manual wind Daytonas, particularly the Paul Newman/Exotic dial models. A new one would give people a modern easy to service movement and availability of parts, a sturdier bracelet, improved water resis...
