Rolex Cosmograph Daytona early style has now referred to as Exotic special dial color: white background dial with black small three pointers bezels (registers), or black dial with white small three pointers bezel, and the time scales inside the small pointers watch bezel are marked with square markers. Other models that are different from the features of the modern Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watches include the watch movement of manual winding (Ref.16520 in 1988 adopted the Zenith El Primero automatic winding movement), watch case of stainless steel non - Oyster cases, timing button of  non - screw - down pushers (the 6263 and 6265 in the later have already adopted screwdown pushers), watch crown was not the subsequent watch Triplock crown. Daytona with these characteristics is particularly later nicknamed Paul Newman's watch, whose value and collection value are far different from other styles of subsequent watches (as a result, someone insisted that only the Ref. 6239 and Ref. 6241 are the orthodox Daytona Paul Newman!)

The reason that the Rolex daytona replica with the Exotic dial is specially nicknamed the Daytona Paul Newman is still debated. The most romantic and popular saying is that Paul Newman worn the Rolex Daytona(Paul Newman) in the car racing movie "Winning" in 1969. And author of "The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches" Dowling and Hess said: the watch that Paul Newman wore in the movie was not Daytona, and the title of the Paul Newman Dayton should be attributed to Paul Newman wearing the Daytona in a movie poster of the "Winning" and then firstly came to the attention of the Italian fans. Until now, either film or poster at that time, it has been reviewed already by many watch fans, but the answer is still unable to agree.

Anyway, one certainty is that Paul Newman indeed loves Rolex Daytona, and he wears Daytona on numerous occasions, this is not a virtual James Bond can do.
