Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Ref:6241 SS |
212
|
1960s
|
The whole cult like phenomenon that these watches seem to have become now generate prices that, in our opinion, are totally out of sync with the rarity of the watches. The fact is that the reproduction dials, some done as far back as 13 years ago, are every bit as good as the originals and no one really knows how to distinguish the originals from the re-pros though few dealers have the humility to admit such! Instead they harp on about 'little secrets' such as the 'elongated 3', tight sub dial concentric circles, Singer stamped back etc not realizing that re-pro dials have utilized all these and more for years. However, they have become such a commodity recently that it doesn't seem to matter as long as the watches them selves are original people are, it seems, willing to forgo a little sporadic insecurity with regards to the dials to look good! I am in no way saying this is not original just that 'Paul Newmans' or 'Exotic Daytonas' are what they are in the market place today. |

Rolex Chronograph Ref:3335 SS |
161
|
1940s
|
One of the rarest steel chronographs ever produced by Rolex. The 3335 is rare not only due to it being the first chronograph to incorporate an hour register but for its case size in addition. This particular example with salmon pink original dial is rarer still for its oversized hour counter probably previously used for advertising purposes. |
