ceejay Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 What makes it a Paul Newman, I thought Newman dials had the Art Deco style sub dials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username here Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 correct. this is not a Paul Newman. The last lemon dial PN I'm aware of was offered for sale at auction. It sold for a little more than $800,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Very nice, it's the modern model that ppl call "paul newman" although the true paul newman watches were the vintage ones. I like it, wear it well, it will def grab lots of attention. Be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffindodger Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 yep nice! but don't go flashing it around in the pub unless you want a whack on the back of the head and wake up with no watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi1 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks for all your comments. It's much appreciated. Yes off course it's not the original Paul Newman. But they do these dials every once in awhile For example these are also Paul Newman dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schumi1 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 @lionsandtigers thanks. how much u think it would cost to insure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Depends. I have a gen 68 1675 and my wife's diamonds and I pay 300 and change a year for all of it. I use jewelers mutual Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 @lionsandtigers thanks. how much u think it would cost to insure ? If you have a homeowners insurance policy, you can get a jewelry and watch rider to your policy. My insurance company offers it, however they require either a sales invoice or an appraisal by a recognized jeweler or watchmaker.

lionsandtigers Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Panerai153 is correct. But they have to offer it and you need to read the fine print. I rent in nyc so it's only covered very little. Had to get something seperate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 To buy a watch like that, I would think you'd have to LOVE it...no looking back and second guessing yourself. I love it. Would not wear it because it screams "look at me!", but I can appreciate it on others. Wear it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yep, good idea to insure these type of items. My underwriters policy is about $400 a year and fully covers jewelry, home theater, and my golf club collection. They did not ask for invoices but pictures of the items. No deductible. Kind of expensive but suppose to be hassle free in event of loss..... Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
