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

Thinking about trading my 116520 for a 16710 or Another "Choose for me" thread
I'm about to make the decision on whether or not to trade my white dial Daytona for a no-holes GMT (Originally black, but comes with a Coke insert too) and some cash. I've been wearing my 16610 for several months now, & I haven't missed the Daytona on my wrist. I find the Daytona to be a bit more difficult to read when glancing at an angle, and it's definitely a scratch magnet... BUT IT'S A DAYTONA!!! I love the way both the Daytona and Sub feel on my wrist, and I've posted before about how I hope that the GMT would wear wear similarly to the Sub. I use the date function with some frequency, have no use for the chrono function on the Daytona, and wouldn't have much use for the GMT function (but it would probably be used at some point). The additional cash that I'd get will hopefully go towards a 214270 in the not to distant future, which I believe would round out a great three watch collection. In short, I'm looking for any input that the forum may have to steer me in one direction

When it came out, I didn't want it. Have a SD4k. The incoming photos and reviews piqued my interest. Once I saw it in person, I was sold. Love it. It will pair well with my SD4k and 50th Anniversary Sub. I removed the extension and it fits great on my 7.25 wrist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rolex 16550 1991 Service Dial
Hi, trying to get some info on a ROLEX Explorer 2, bought in 1991, but dated 1998. It has the fat font bezel, full Rolex service in 2008 but the dial is very white and has 'Swiss Made' in the bottom. From other watches i've seen most have the Swiss T <25 dial.Does this mean that the watch has a service dial??Presume that lowers the cost!
