NCRich 13,750 Posted June 2, 2017 Interesting. THE Paul Newman is going up for auction after being "missing" for years. Can't imagine how many zeros will be involved. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/paul-newmans-paul-newman-daytona-rolex WSJ article twitter link to get around paywall. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/paul-newmans-paul-newman-daytona-rolex My fav pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nickfive 4 Posted June 2, 2017 Saw this yesterday, incredible bit of history. Price estimates??? I honestly struggle to put a price on it, I'm sure someone would pay in the region of a million $ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,271 Posted June 2, 2017 Some pundits say $10 Mil There are two of his watches that might be going to auction. One of them belongs to his ex-son-in-law and the other is his own that was a present from his wife Jo (aka ME) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,750 Posted June 2, 2017 I'd be very surprised if it didn't hit 10 million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted June 2, 2017 I'll place my bet 10.3 million :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted June 2, 2017 I say 10 plus for sure. Maybe edge towards mid teens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted June 2, 2017 Fuck me! That has to be one of the single coolest watches on the planet. Possibly second only to Armstrong's speedy dunno though... Maybe Newman's Newman is cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Newman's Newman is cooler Yeah, its Aldrins speedy. But it has only been on the moon. This one has been on Paul's wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted June 2, 2017 I'm sorry but $10 million is an absolute joke. The watch is cool and has history but you've got to a world class prick to be able to splash that on a watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that, it will only appreciate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted June 2, 2017 People are crazy. It's a nice watch, nice story, etc. but I can't see the $10M+ attraction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paparolf 45 Posted June 2, 2017 Less than a million for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted June 2, 2017 12 to 15 million would be my guess, maybe more. Its chump change to some after and it's the ultimate collectable Rolex. Only Aldrin's Speedy has been the subject of more conjecture than the whereabouts of this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chavezzito 121 Posted June 2, 2017 People are crazy. It's a nice watch, nice story, etc. but I can't see the $10M+ attraction! Of course we cannot see that attraction since it is astronomically out of our league but to some... Will be cool to see where it lands :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 673 Posted June 2, 2017 I don't think anyone bidding on this thinks 10 mill is big money... :D It will sell for more than Putins Patek I'm sure! https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/vladimir-putins-patek-philippe-5208p-grand-complication-antiquorum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirkhunt 0 Posted June 2, 2017 I was reading a newsletter this morning about this watch, I would guess it will sell for about €1.2 million, afterall, its THE Paul Newman Daytona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
