So a very good customer of mine, who became a friend due to our passion for watches, bought a Daytona that he called a “Paul Newman”. I don’t consider myself being an expert in vintage Rolex but would still expect him to at least give me a call or text me his possible purchases but hey...
He bought it from someone he knew, who told him it was a daytona worth at least £1xxk. He tried to sell it for £40, then they agreed on a lower price than that.
After the deal was done, my friend texted me this picture.
From what I can see without even digging thte intrawebs the pushers are a bit weird looking, the bezel is wrong. And the dial looks a bit off too.
Now question...
Am I right thinking this is a bit of a franken watch?
And do I tell ny friend that?
That is the only picture I got so far. Watch in question is on the left. One on the right is my friends’
Thanks in advance,
S

Dial. Bezel. Pushers. Location of pushers (could indicate wrong movement) The seller let it fo for 1/3 of market value. But judging a watch without seeing it in person is risky business.

I also suspect that this watch is not legitimate. I am not aware of that combination of lettering in the 6239’s and at a cursory glance, the case diameter appears identical to the companion 116520 in the photo, ie it does not appear to be 36.5mm. As far a...
