Rolex Paul Newman Daytona 6241 Watch

This Rolex Paul Newman Daytona replica 6241 with white dial and black sub-registers. This piece is truly a grail watch for some, including many HODINKEE staffers. (One day! Maybe?) The example we have here is a reference 6241 with push-down chronograph buttons and a black acrylic bezel insert. More replica Rolex Daytona.

This example is in incredible condition with a gorgeous “Paul Newman” white dial with black sub-registers, push-down chronograph buttons, and black acrylic bezel. What you may not know is that back when these watches were in production, no one wanted these “exotic” dials and they sat on the shelf for years. They weren’t popular to collect until the 1980s, when Italian collectors discovered them (and nicknamed them “Paul Newman" Daytonas after a picture of the actor wearing the watch was found).

Today, this watch is one of the most talked about vintage Rolexes on the market and is incredibly desirable – and it's easy to see why.

Breitling Premier Chronograph 777 Watch

A vintage Breitling pink-gold Premier chronograph is hard to come by these days, but here we have one for you. This watch is everything we dream of when we think of 1940s Breitling, with the 38 mm pink-gold case and perfectly proportioned gold, two-register dial. This watch is in great condition and is perfection on the wrist. More replica Breitling Premier.

Breitling Premier 777 is quite a rare bird and is extremely coveted among Breitling enthusiasts for its larger case and elegant dials. The example we have here is the perfect combination of the 38 mm rose-gold case and the supremely balanced golden dial with sophisticated numerals.

It is very rare to see a two-register chronograph of this dimension, in solid gold, with an amazing case back noting the waterproof, anti-magnetic, and shock-protected attributes of this watch.
