The John Mayer Dial is a completely different discussion and had no bearing on the the Rolex Cosmograph pump pusher dials.

Forth point yes the Paul Newman dials were shown in Rolex Brochures but only the 6239 and 6241.


Here my is my 43 year 6241 with all its imperfections.












The only relevant point actually is that you love this watch and you bought it for the right reason (these are not investments or to show off).
Wonderful PN... and I could not agree with you more....

Seriously though, I think that I would be happy for the rest of my life if I had your 6263 Daytona. You have a terrific collection. Good luck on finding your next grail.
Thank you Mike. The 6263 is an iconic reference that I will cherish forever.
