Warchive Paul Newman's Paul Newman

I'm not an expert on these but I do love the watch, what do you guys think? He hasn't posted much info on it yet. Looks like the case is made for screw down pushers etc.

Don't really know much about Rolex but UNIT SPER does not look right IMHO.

"Units Per" definitely too close together. DAYTONA at 6 is a bit off?

Agreed with both, s does look a little right in units per making it look like unit sper and the printing on these dials for the Daytona at 6 etc. has always been a bit thick and not spaced out enough. As well as the chrono white arrow not having the right shape.

I know it's not going to be believable wearing a $17.8 Million watch but the factory could have paid attention to small details like that.

Only Paul Newman's Paul Newman sold for that. The rest go for around $160,000 ish. I guess some on this forum could pull that off.

dial is ass

Cartel made one dial with decent sub dial spacing at 6 for an ST-19. Unfortunately it's an inaccurate screw pusher 6263 panda, which should not have a red 'Daytona'.
When you see a proper Newman dial, like The Society's, you see a galactic difference in not only spacing but font, print quality, aged lume, etc...
The good news is these can be modded, but with bad bezel quality to begin with it doesn't seem worth it. The acrylic bezels can be swapped out with a flat s bezel fairly affordably.
I also remember seeing TS watches doing a vintagized version of the Newman.
