!!!!they let me touch it!!!!!
Phillips/Bacs and Russo are currently showcasing Paul Newman's PN Daytona 6239 at a popup in Los Angeles ahead of the historic auction later this month. They will be open today through Saturday. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this and many other rare/mythical/unknown watches in absolutely pristine condition.
I will post more pics of the other incredible lots for sale but first, let's do this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s great for charity if I correctly understand where the proceeds will go...but it tugs at my heart a little as he raced with us every March at Road Atlanta and at the ARRC/Runoffs, too. Just conflicted and nostalgic.
But it will undoubtedly set a new record for a vintage Daytona at auction. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awesome. I would go and try to be the first to bid on it just to say i did. But i would be sweating bullets until that next higher bid came in to save me. Lol

Very cool!

They let you more than touch it. You got to wear it! Never wash your wrist again.

Is that a photo of it on your wrist? Very nice regardless!!! Love the engraving!!! As a kid I got to meet his niece a few time, Annie. I was patching a boat with a buddy and cut her by accident with a knife; needless to say she wasn't to happy about it. I was about 15. It was out in West Hampton Beach; she was from Great Neck.
