Rolex Daytona Paul Newman 6239.
A watch I saw a couple of months ago, in Paris.
The " Djinn Shot ".

The " Djinn Shot ".
))I always had mixed feelings about the Pail Newman. Cool to see, but on my wrist, not that thrilling, strangely.
And you always have a fear that it is not totally original, unless if the provenance is crystal clear.
Best,

This is a real one! Unlike the 90% fakes out there
I agree though
On the wrist I don’t see the hype on this, its more a status symbol a vintage equivalent of Richard Mille
On your pics it looks super cool Nico. But as always it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t sing on the wrist. Enjoy!
Years ago I tried on the PN
It's a photogenic watch, Actually, it doesn't matter if its PN or just 6265/3.
The case is high, like the Tudors of today, but "acceptable" cause it's a PN...
That real or not thing, is true. like the DRSD, there are more reds then white 1665,,,
The watch just doesn't sing, not even close to the joy when wearing a well patinated 5513 or 1655.
It's the hype knocking in our heads, and I guess without it, it won't get a 2nd look.
Once again, my friend, we think alike.
Photogenic for sure. Highly photogenic, even. I much prefer a good old 1675, 6542, 1655 or Tudor 7924, too.
Stunning photos as always, and what a Daytona!
For me provenance is everything particularly with timepieces such as this (but I would also argue even from those in the more affordable luxury ranges too - mid 4 figures and lower 5 figures).
