Best Fake Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Phillips NewYork

I asked at once if I could take the fake Rolex watch out for several minutes of wrist time and to get the images you see here. The Phillips team kindly humored me, and I have to say that, as someone who is passionate about vintage Rolex replica, there is something really mysterious about this replica watch actually. It seems dramatic, I know, but it was one of those times when you’re in the presence of something particular or significant and you can feel it. I’m lucky enough that in the course of business, I get to see many amazing replica watches. Holding a Paul Newman Daytona is out of the ordinary. But this was extremely outstanding and extraordinary. 
The condition of the watch is the first thing that struck me a lot. If you’ve seen the photographs published in the Wall Street Journal (who first broke the news) or the New York Times, you might think the replica watch is pretty beat up. It’s not. This Daytona is in good condition and has clearly been worn over the years, but the smudging on the dial’s creme-colored section isn’t nearly as stark as it appears in those photos, and the case and case back show normal scratches from wear, but they don’t look especially beat up at all.
What’s more, the lugs look worn from wear, but not like they’ve been polished to death; the pushers and crown are still crisp, and the Lume plots all appear to be intact and correct. If the watch wasn’t the ur-Paul Newman, it might not be the most desirable example, but thinking of the context, it’s far more preferable for the replica watch to show that it hasn’t been tampered with (and that it was actually worn) than for it to be in new-old-stock condition.
Putting the fake watch on my wrist was a rather surreal experience.   Additionally, I’ve tried on plenty of 6239 Daytonas, and more than a handful of Paul Newmans, but this watch is just so damn cool. To know that Newman himself looked down at it, just as I was when taking this photo, is totally different. You can believe I took wrist shots until I was politely asked to return the watch, and I don’t think this is a watch I’ll be able to get out of my head for quite some time. 
Watching other collectors get excited about this replica watch was more than half the fun. Even more exciting for me though was watching other collectors react to it during the preview. Everyone from relative newcomers to guys who have been amassing brilliant replica Rolex collections since the days of Bubbleback supremacy was straight up freaking out. We’re talking about grown men giggling and asking their friends to snap iPhone photos of them standing next to the fake watch in its glass case. The entire experience was a nice reminder of how much fun this little passion of ours can be, and what a great community has sprung up around it since the days when this replica watch was Rolex’s worst-selling model.
