Panda Paul Newman dials
I saw a 6239 PN for sale with a Panda dial. I thought Pandas only started with 6262's? Is this correct or is it all legit? Thanks

If by Panda, you mean strictly two-color dial, I believe the 6265 was the first.
Mr. Newman himself wore a "Panda" 6239, which was a three-color dial. Here's a great article with lots of good info: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/re...newman-daytona |

For me, the term "Panda Dial" means that the sub-dials are the opposite color of the main dial area. The more common one is a white dial with black subs...
The "reverse Panda" would indicate a black dial with white sub-dials.... And, of course, the PN reference is to the rarer font on the sub dials...  Photos from the internet!
