Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz wears a Paul Newman Daytona on CBS This Morning.
Not much to see here other than espresso and style-icon Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is wearing his Rolex Paul Newman Daytona 6239 (?- Comment if you know.) on CBS This Morning. Also, he said he was stepping down and acted like he wasn’t going to run for President. His watch game is much stronger than the current President’s. No one can argue with that point. Full Interview here.

Mark Wahlberg and watches
Mark Wahlberg has every Rolex watch you could ever want. He wears them, too. Daytona, Sky-Dweller, Day-Date you name it. The star of Boogie Nights and Three Kings has an affinity for the brand and watches in general. While wasting time online, as one does, I came across this video featuring Mark Wahlberg decoding bits of Boston slang for Vanity Fair. Having previously lived in Boston, I was intrigued. What’s that? One of the crazy Rolex Daytonas with the perfectly selected rainbow colored sapphires on the bezel. A search on Chrono24 shows pricing at around $180K for this gold reference. Other references in steel and white gold are priced…

Top Ten things of 2017
We here at Fake Alligator put together a list of the top 10 things in 2017. Trying to steer clear of watches and cars (for the most part) we wanted to showcase the biggest and most exciting things of the year. So without further ado: 10: Damien Hirst’s Venice show: Treasures From the Wreck of the Unbelievable 189 pieces in bronze, marble, malachite, rock crystal, silver and gold. The work took 10 years to produce at a cost of over $65million USD, that’s a few Paul Newman Daytonas. Love him or hate him, this show was the only thing I remember from Venice this year. 9: That fight scene in…

Paul Newman’s Paul Newman Daytona featured on The Walking Dead
AMC’s The Walking Dead featured the most valuable watch ever sold. I, like everyone else, was watching AMC’s golden-child franchise series The Walking Dead last night. It was the season 7 half-season finale. In between tweeting about Bitcoin futures and complaining in general, which, let’s be honest, is the real purpose of the internet, I noticed something interesting. Rick is wearing a Rolex. Upon first inspection I just noticed it was a Rolex Daytona, their mainstay chronograph first produced in 1963. I initially thought it was one of the lesser, modern models, such as 116500LN and 116520. I know what you’re thinking, big deal. It isn’t, I agree. I’ve lost…

Da Vinci painting or Paul Newman Daytonas?
Da Vinci? (please say that like Tom Hanks in the trailer 2006 film The Da Vinci Code) The last privately owned Leonardo Da Vinci (of Ninja Turtles fame) painting, Salvator Mundi was auctions off last week at Christie’s in New York. it went for….. $450,312,500 making it the most expensive painting ever sold. Paintings by the old master are rare (less than 20) and finished paintings are ever rarer. While we all hoped the piece would end up in a museums collection, the outrageous price dictates that might not have happened. As of the writing the buyer is still unknown. IS IT REAL? Who knows. Seriously, this work has been beaten…

My Paul Newman Paul Newman Daytona prediction
Prophecy of this watches’s future I really do want it to do well. I want the Nell Newman charity to get maximum proceeds from the sale. I want Phillips Auctions and Aurel Bacs/Paul Boutros to make serious bank on this, too. But The hype around this watch will subside. The hype around all Paul Newman Daytonas will eventually die down and they’ll be “reasonably priced” and “attainable” as far as high-end vintage watches are concerned. There are a lot of them. I know they’ve been the watch for literally 30 years, but something will rise up and knock it off the iron throne. Any guesses on what that something is? Also,…

Paul Newman’s Legendary ‘Paul Newman’ Rolex PAUL NEWMAN ROLEX
People lose their minds over two things, Paul Newman Daytonas and Celebrity Watches. Join me to watch the collective watch community’s head explode when Phillips auctions off Paul Newman’s actual Daytona. ABOUT You can read the story on the link to Phillips below as to how this whole thing came to be. TL:DR version… Newman handed it to his daughter’s boyfriend in the early 1980s. What is it exactly? Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6239 with an exotic dial purchased by Newman’s wife, Joanne, at Tiffany & Co. in 1968. MONEY The watch was something like $250 USD new back when you’d see them in stores. A new (in 2017) Rolex…
