A previous version of this video included a remark that was deemed unnecessary and in poor taste. We would like to apologize to the community for the misjudgment made.

It is probably faster, easier, and cheaper to get a Daytona by winning the 24 Hours of Daytona than it is to get on an AD waitlist.

I'm waiting for the new Rolex Wait-Master, the watch you wear so you can time your wait list for the watch you actually want 😆

Love the Daytona, just picking my time :-). Great video and appreciate the research, production and delivery. It takes us 7 mins to watch this video but many, many hours to produce. Thank you!

$200 USD in 1963 adjusted for inflation is just south of $2K today. The Crown doesn’t offer anything in that range — I don’t think the Shield does, either. Rolex put a lot of work into their in-house movement so I’m glad it gets some appreciation.

Excellent video as usual. Facts delivered without waffle.

If Rolex reissue a steel Paul Newman dial Daytona with a modern design, I can only imagine how crazy prices would get.

Hi there
Can you give me some advice as regards to buying a Daytona ( Paul Newman ) oysterflex May 2022, hardly worn for £31.500 pounds, is that a good price & is it a good investment.
Thank you

New collector here, just got the Tudor black bay Panda. I had no idea how much servicing was for these, I guess it goes w/ the territory. Its like owning a Mercedes...

[davidcunningham]

Ok - does anyone know the supposed 'celebrity' that purchased THE Paul Newman .... since he couldn't say it in the video. My Daytona - 116500LN Black face

[MerlintheMaineCoon]

What’s the point of publishing prices that are completely off?

[tylorequintanilla]

Is now a good time to buy or should I wait?

Wish your site did not require your installing a tracker on anybody visiting.

I always loved this watch, then in 1981 I bought one.
I even opted for the jubilee bracelet instead of the oyster.
Under one thousand dollars tax included.
When I got home I realized it wasn’t a chronometer so I returned it for a GMT master. It’s been with me all these years I love it.
But I should never have returned the Dayton.
For around two grand vi could have had them both.Big mistake.

5 things to know:
1. You can't buy it straight from the AD/Boutiques
2. Second hand prices are nonsense
3. Overrated as fuck
4. Omega Speedmaster exists, more affordable and better than the Daytona
5. Zenith Chronosport exists, more affordable and better than a Daytona

6th thing you should know… is the lug size on the crown side of a Daytona watch is smaller than the opposite… a thing to look out for when it comes to fakes

[ajlm]

Me watching this with $7 in my bank account ..

[MikeLocke]

Rumor has it that Rolex bought the Paul Newman Daytona, to inflate the value of Rolex overall ;) 🤫

Kennedy get's one hell of a headache ??? Is this a joke ? Sounds tasteless...
