See the BBC have picked up on it. Suspect they'll be a few articles on this in the Sunday papers tomorrow

To answer the question about cost, the scan in this post if from a 1970 C.D. Peacock of Chicago catalog. Item F is a stainless steel Daytona on leather strap with a price listed of $235.

What I don't agree with, though, is the repeated statement I keep hearing that this particular watch is what 'started it all', as if there were no collectors of vintage watches before JW gave PN this Daytona, and that everyone since, is only into vintage watches/Rolex because of it. Of course, it's been very influential and hugely significant, but I can't accept that without it, there would be no VR collectors.

You know. I don't care. It just hypes sales of currant production numbers higher, and allows Rolex to justify ridiculous retail prices.

I like watches and cars....never really understood the appeal of celebrity owned in either of those. Cool watch for sure....crazy money
