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...

Are you referring to the AQ Oyster dials ?
By: DrStrong : May 5th, 2009-23:55
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
By: scotthicks61 : May 6th, 2009-21:22
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

By: marcello pisani : December 11th, 2013-09:36
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...

...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!
