I will have to agree with you.....
I also like the 3 color newmans over the panda 6263s. However my favorite is the 3 color black RCO 6240 or 6263. Mine is a 1.6 million 6239 and it came with a steel bezel but I prefer the 6241 look better. So I asked Roberto to install an acrylic balaclava bezel and I have original spare steel insert also. Here is a pic.....
Thanks for the compliments!! And yes Newman is pure enjoyment on the wrist ;-)

Anything planned for the weekend? Rolex 6239 PN for me
This one has come out to play for the weekend....and I know its Thursday, but it feels like Friday! I know exactly what Nicolas means when he talks about the PN. If i hadn't jumped on this one 5 or so years ago, I am not sure I could have the nerve to jum...
Absolutely, Joe. Some 12 / 14 years ago, it was priced like a 5508, nowadays.
At that time, I was tempted but awfully worried to get a re assembled one, so, I passed on it, and I missed the train which has long gone without me. A cool Dayto, for sure, which brings a lot of pleasure to their owners. Best, and enjoy yours! Nicolas
Yep....
.....5 years ago I had to really think carefully about taking this plunge....for me the first really expensive Rolex. At the time, yes, I was very concerned. I remember well Marcello giving me an email telling me the watch was original and absolutely corr...
Next time we meet, try to bring it with you!
I still have nice souvenirs of this one... And till don't know if I prefer the black on White, or White on Black... Please don't say both! ...
the white dial is more of a summer variant to my mind....
.....whereas the black is one that is easy to wear through the year. I think, on balance, I prefer the black dial. I am definitely a fan of the 6239 pump pusher
Train has left BUT
sometimes we should jump on a moving train. What I mean is that yes the prices of PN have gone up substantially. But quite frankly I don't see that changing. It will only get worse. Icons appreciate over time. Yes you might get a chance to buy a nice watc...
It is indeed a matter of passion. But when I think that a PN is 3 Duometres ( Chrono / QL
and UTT ), I can't, I just can't think of getting one... Still, it is a matter of love, passion, and you are absolutely right on that! But for me, I think it is too late. Best, Nicolas
Dear Edmond, I just jumped onto this so called moving train......
Needless to say but I am ecstatic about this purchase ). A little temptation for others to take the leap..... Best Atin ...
Well done
Atin, Your example with the white dial and 3 color dial with red outside second track is among my favourite PN. I think vintage Rolex is all about colors - that is the strength of Rolex. That is why I prefer your reference over the more expensive (and per...

Congrats, Atin, for the watch, and also for the pictures.
The Second one, on the T Leica Camera is topissime. Huge congratulations! Best, Nicolas
Hello Atin! Great photographs of an awesome timepiece...
... I can well understand your excitement with this new addition to your collection! Enjoy it in good health Atin! Kind regards, Abel. PS: specially love the picture of your PN and Leica! Great combo!
Thanks guyz!! Credit for beautiful pics goes to Roberto...
As he is an avid Leica collector also! Once again thanks for all the compliments! Feel honored to be in such company ;-)
How could you regret getting such a cool watch dear Joe?...
... such a nice companion for your next week end is something to celebrate each time you view it on your wrist! I like the Daytona 6239 for the looks of its pushers, so pure and simple. What a great watch! I haven´t made my mind yet about this week end wa...
Lol!! Ah yeah! Art´s love for Omega is soo contagious!...
... but fact is that after Rolex I have a very special fondness for Omega. Through the last years I have assembled a small collection of timepieces of this brand, including a few old chronos, Connies and Speedies. Speedmaster and Seamaster diving models i...
To answer your question, I spent most of the week with a Rolex Yachtmaster on my wrist.
And since today, with a JLC Septantieme... Tomorrow, too. For the week end, I don't know, it will depend of the mood of the moment. Best, Nicolas ...
Ahh! I was expecting some of your awesome pictures of these two beauties you ...
... mention my friend!! :) Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel.
The 6610 Club....
.....is certainly one with a very limited membership list Finding one with correct hands even more tricky. Yes, this 6610 of yours is one we need to discuss more!!
Your 6610 is as sweet as the chocos in that pic!
They are always lonely watches...over run by all the subs & gmts. Best regards, Mel
enjoying in advance, ..............
............nice Daytos for me in this week end a Tissot Seastar Chrono!! All the best. Juan
Juan... my dear amigo! How comes that you are...
... anticipate enjoying a Daytona and another piece without any photographs to view them? Every post from you urges me to arrange a meeting!! Un abrazo, and enjoy your watches my dear friend!! Abel.
Ha Ha .... My friend
we live in a complicated world ...... but still have time to arrange together a meeting. Only reminder... in July I travel to Japan for a month with my son!!! My apologies to show a Tissot in Rolex Forum....!!! Happy weekend for all Un abrazo Amigo Juan ...
Nice! Very Nice Juan!! and...
... you are waiting for a Daytona too?? Wow! I´ll try to arrange a meeting with you for last week of May I hope! I´m sure you´ll enjoy your trip to Japan with your son! Un abrazo y buen finde!! Abel.
The Daytona was a PN...
.......and the owner did not reduce the price and my offer is the only offer that he has here ....for this reason dicide sold it in Europe (Germany).- The last week of may is OK for me!!! Un Abrazo. Juan
Oh Juan!! What a shame! well... hunting for a PN is playing...
... in the High Leagues my friend! I´m sure you´ll have another opportunity soon! Good luck and all the best for you! Un abrazo! Will try to arrange to take a "cafecito" before end of this month then! Afectuosamente, Abel.
I am killing you softly and slowly......
And im enjoying it ....hehehe..... thks my friend Iceman
Perfect fit?
I have always wondered why do Rolex collectors have a weakness for Porsche? It is very noticeable. Yes both have some similarities. The 911 and Rolex are timeless Icons. Both have evolved but never changed too much. But vintage Ferrari and vintage Rolex. ...
Hi edmond,
I guess you are spot on . porsche and vintage rolex are timeless design icons. It is a natural fit. :-)))) Best Icemsn
And a Rolex 1675 as back up
For double the fun a Rolex 1675 double swiss gilt Radial. That should be a good back up. Bill ...
It is hard to close out on GMT's as there is always another to go for.
I am not sure if you noticed but the tropical is an occ.
It was the radial part I discovered.
But not when I bought the the watch I only was aware of the double Swiss. I discovered more recently the the radial aspect. Bill
You will have to show it to me, next time we meet.
That one is an important find! Photo sesssion! Best, Nicolas.
First time on in a while, dug out this firm favourite..
DRSD - a beautiful watch!! Cheers Tony ...
Don't be fooled by the sunshine....
Actually a bit rainy here. Should make the F3 racing at the Pau Grand Prix a bit interesting this afternoon :-) First off, have to give man's best friend a good walk, run an swim first!! Cheers Tony ...
