Happy New Year TRF.... 6239 'Paul Newman' Daytona
First and foremost, I would like to wish all my TRF friends a Happy and Healthy New Year!
As some of you may remember, I was on a self imposed watch buying moratorium in 2009 after an exceedingly fruitful (and expensive) year...... Well, needless to say it did not work..... So........ here is my 'new' 6239 exotic dial 'Paul Newman' Daytona which I found locally in a nice vintage watch shop. (I also picked up another piece as well which I am currently denying knowledge of ) Please enjoy these photos taken this afternoon after a couple of inches of snow .... (sorry for not taking the dust off the watch....) up: |

WOW...that watch is MINT...it even has the original caseback sticker. Very nice pickup. A 6239 in that condition is very hard to find. I'm jealous!!

Yeah, the caseback sticker surprised me when I first viewed it. Supposedly, this piece came from a famous movie director???? They wouldn't tell me who. |

I was planning to buy a PN in 2010 (due to self imposed watch buying ban for '09) but unexpectedly this watch landed on my wrist and unexpectedly my checkbook fell out of my pocket. Happy New Year!!! |

Stunning find Pav! That is a great score, any pics of the second watch? You know it is cruel to tease us like that! Congrats & Happy New Year.
