Daytona -Paul Newman Limited Edition Dial
Discussion
Hi,
I have been trying to locate a specific Daytona for a friend of mine who is visiting from abroad next week. I've been offered a white gold Daytona which has a "Paul Newman Limited Edition Face" it was made in 2008...it isn't exactly what my friend wants....I am trying to get a photo of it but in the meantime am trying to find an image on the web. As you can imagine putting Daytona and Newman into Google comes up with thousands of references to the original Newman Daytona's.
Does anyone have any idea what this watch looks like ?

Not quite clear on this..I have been trying to locate a specific Daytona for a friend of mine who is visiting from abroad next week.

You don't want a 2008 white gold Daytona with "Paul Newman limited edition dial", what is it that your friend is specifically looking for, do you have the model ref and a complete description?
Sorry yes should have explained. I am trying to get a white gold daytona, black strap, white face at a decent discount to list. I know a guy that can get hold of watches at good prices...he's found one Daytona with a black strap but not a white face. He has also offered me this other watch which has a white gold bracelet too but has this "Paul Newman Ltd Edition Face"...can't find it anywhere on the web. It's second hand so comes out at a similar price to the leather strap watches.
From everything i've seen, there wasn't a Paul Newman edition, and the term often gets thrown about for any white face daytona.

I thought the name came about because he was wearing an exotic dial daytona on a magazine cover. A bit like the Steve McQueen watches and the Burt Reynolds GMT?edit-

Right, you're after a Rolex 116519 with a white Arabic dial, like this...And this is the watch you've been offered, with the latest white Arabic figures and black sub dials.
It's very loosely (and not by Rolex, and it certainly isn't a limited edition) referred to as a 'Paul Newman'. It is available on a bracelet (ref 116509)shown here..
Does this help? If you need any info or help give me a call...
