The History of the Rolex Cosmograph part III : The Newman Dials
The Paul Newman dial – also called exotic dial by some collectors – is a dial variation that went with the Cosmograph throughout almost all the production period of the watch, from 1963 to 1978. It was originally destined for the American market, which ex...

Undoubtebly the most controversial Daytona if not the most controversial collectible vintage watch. Guess that is why I love mine so much. Are you going to cover the red dialed Paul Newman aka 'Spirit of Japan' LOL. Regards Rene...

The subtle variations between dial references is now clear, Jeff . . .
. . . thanks so much for all the effort in putting this series of articles together. Regards, Art
And, all the pics are of authentic dials
Great choice of pics. So many fakes out there but you choose well. Hats off to your explantions too. My fav 6239. Scott
Some extremely close fakes but materials prevail
But, I don't want to distract from your point of the post. Scott
Are you referring to the AQ Oyster dials ?
most of the pictures used in my post are too small to make a real expertise of the dials, but feel free to raise any point or question. Cheers Jeff
No, reference is made to the Newman dials only
The dials in the post are all authentic. Why, because the coating is accurate, the fonts are accurate, even in the slight variations, etc. I know these dials extremely well, to say the least. Scott
Great Scott
so I hope to see you post soon some fake vs correct dials, that would be very interesting. Cheers Jeff
No problem at all
There are so many of them on the market, fakes that is. But, there is also a lot of confusion that centers on the "fonts" as being the way of telling real from fake. That's not true and anyone who says it is throwing around conspiracy theorys. Real: My ap...
Those are well chosen examples !
feel free to start a new thread someday with other good vs fake comparisons, I have some pictures to contribute also. Cheers Jeff
perfectly clear and easy read! Thank you for your excellent and consistent work
As time passes, it is to me important to be given the opportunity to refresh and update my knowledge. I have to felicitate you because your post about Daytona are easy to read and perfectly documented. Hopefully many will benefit from your posts on the su...

Another great Rolex Daytona Paul Newan report.
So much information to learn. Everyday I pick up something new. Thanks Jeff
the old estimate of ...
just 200 " oyster " and 1000 " non-oyster " dials ( made at the end of the 90s ) should have to be updated , considering also that now we know the amount of manual winding daytonas produced in steel and gold from 1963 to 1988 circa ( that is certainly muc...
Thanks Marcello...
...and by the way, I would still be curious to see the famous picture of Agnelli that made the hand wound Daytona so sought after in Italy
Very nice and informative!
Thanks Jeff for all this rich information. I'm definetely falling in love with the Vintage world of Rolex.
