Close-Up: Rolex’s 50th Anniversary Daytona (with Video)
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, the chronograph watch made famous by actor and motor racing enthusiast Paul Newman. The anniversary edition that Rolex released at Baselworld 2013 still generates strong opinions in the brand’s legion of fans. Here is a closer look at the watch.The first Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona �� a wristwatch in a steel case with a manual-wind chronograph movement, named after the famous racetrack �� was released in 1963 and has been produced in various versions ever since.

Selling my Omega Seamaster Pro Quartz. The blue bezel and blue wave dial are just such a great combo, along with the whole design of the watch. Sold mine for less than $1,000 and thinking about going to an AD and buying a new one for retail, $2,050.

Take it from someone who made the wrong decision. Happy holidays
