Is the Paul Newman a rare watch? Yes, it is. It's actually far more rare than you might imagine based on how many you see in the online space. There are a lot of dials out there that should not be on the watches they're on. There are a lot of dials out there that are really fake, and a lot of dials out there that are a little fake, and there are dials out there they are real, but on the wrong watch – indicating someone has swapped parts around (Why would someone do this, you ask? Say for example you have a highly polished case on a 6239 with a Paul Newman dial, but the dial is in mint condition. Then, you have a 6241 with a mint case but a normal, non-PN dial. All one would have to do to make that 6241 into $100,000+ watch is swap the dial, but if you do that with the incorrect reference, all of a sudden, you have a dial that doesn't match the watch.) So, what I'm saying is that while you see a lot of watches that look like Paul Newmans, finding a 100% correct Paul Newman is no easy task, let alone one in nice shape. But, on top of that, a Paul Newman is still far less rare than two early chronographs I am particularly fond of: The Mark 1 6239 Daytona, and the 2915 Speedmaster. Both of these watches will run you $60,000 to $80,000 if in great shape, and I think they are both slightly more interesting than a Paul Newman, which today starts at $100,000. But, that doesn't mean they're cooler, or even have a bigger upside financially.
