Rare James Bond and Paul Newman Rolexes Up for Auction at Antiquorum
What do Paul Newman, James Bond, and Jean-Claude Killy have in common? In addition to being pop-culture icons, each is famously associated with a particular model of Rolex watch. And each of these models will be represented this week at Antiquorum‘s auction of vintage and modern timepieces.Antiquorum, the world’s leading auctioneer of fine watches, holds its last auction of the year on December 13 at its U.S. headquarters in New York City. There will be 340 modern and vintage timepieces offered, led by a number of valuable Rolex models.Among the headline pieces is a Rolex Ref. 6241 Daytona in yellow gold; this reference is well-known to collectors as a rare “Paul Newman” model, distinguished by its dial design, which derived its name from the fact that it was the watch the famous actor wore regularly once he began his hobby of automobile racing. Made in the 1960s, this watch is a round-button chronograph with the reference’s distinctive cross-hair subdials

Another boring this or that thread but I need help!
Hi guys, here is my dilema I own a 26470OR and love it. But freaked out about wearing it because of fragile bezel, I already have a tiny scar on it and I cannt sleep because of my OCD!! Lol I have an opportunity to swap straight for the 44mm RG 26400RO which with the ceramic bezel I dont have to worry as much. I own a FC 44 as well and love it, so I figured I would keep my 42 and not use it as much. But now that this opportunity popped up my brain is racing!!!! 😬😬😬What would you guys do!!??Here is a pic of my 42And one of the 44 that I grabbed from the internet (please give credit to I believe its Anil Arjandas he has some awesome watches)All suggestions are good suggestions please help a buddy out, I cant concentrate at work!!' Lol I love both by the way!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Small incoming
First 42mm Panerai, was worried it would be too small as I've only owned 44mm PAM's but I'm pleasantly surprised!

Q: What is your favorite Rolex?
What is your favorite Rolex? Lots and lots of incredible watches to choose from. My favorite is the stainless steel ceramic Daytona. Great history, outstanding movement, highly comfortable, and a watch with a tremendous charisma on the wrist.

Antiques Roadshow Tiffany Dialed Original Pepsi GMT
Sorry for lousy pictures - shot it off my TV while watching the show just now. Season22/Episode9. Saw this and thought the story was unbelievable. Guy takes this off his wrist at the show - gifted by his uncle in 1975 - over 40 years ago. Guy never knew about Rolex but wore it almost daily since then. His wrist gives good evidence...2 years ago the Rolex dealer told him if he serviced it, they would replace the dial So he went to an indy for service. It is from 1963-64 per s/n - early gilt underline dial per the appraiser, Peter Planes, from Royce Estate Buyers in Palm Beach, FL. Would be worth $10-12K if he had it serviced by Rolex with replaced dial and bezel insert. But in this current untouched original condition, worth $50K retail as long as he doesn't touch it. And if the dial had not oxidized so much and was perfect it would have fetched upwards of $100K Good Grief said the guy. I think the indy watchmaker may have replaced the date wheel because it is so white. Just sharing
