It is said that this model was requested to be made in 39mm size because the early Carrera was a small chronograph. The beige index and black crocodile band strap create a vintage atmosphere and accentuate the masculinity. In addition, a NATO belt is included as an alternative. In addition, the back cover is a see-through back specification, and the signature twin thunder mark and limited serial number are engraved.

The last thing I would like to introduce is Commonly known as the "White Paul," the white-dial Paul Newman Rolex Daytona Ref. 6263 is a coveted timepiece amongst collectors.

This model, which was sold from around 1969 to around 1972, features a uniquely designed dial called the "exotic dial." This distinctive dial later became widely known as the "Paul Newman dial" because it was a favorite of actor and racer Paul Newman. It is extremely rare and is now an extremely valuable model that can rarely be seen except at auctions or specialized vintage markets around the world.

Hiroshi Fujiwara's sense of fun is apparent in his posting of the Paul Newman in a modern box with the caption "Going shopping in a DeLorean." His style of combining the historical value of the watch with modern humor is truly impressive!
