Anybody here have one of theses? I read somewhere they feel closer to the original than the newer Rolex versions.

I had one for a couple of months, its your typical hand winding Chinese Chronograph, the build was nice, it just didn't click with me... so off it went. I mean it wasn't a bad watch I just didn't connect with it.

I will take a Breitling Navitimer over a Rolex "Paul Neuman" any day of the week, the only attraction the "Paul Neuman" it has from me is the big bucks when you flip it!

Unfortunately never had one of these True, but definitely wouldn't mind
having one to tell the truth. 😄:) There's something about them with
the contrasts of the all stainless steel teaming up with those sub-dials
that is magical really ! o_O It's incredibly classy, as well as sporty, but
there's this really neat attitude they have.

Am thinking the Paul Newman connection probably has a lot to do
with it that's for sure. 😎So so cool !!! ..Thanks very very much for
the look sir, and the look at all of those ones actually guys !!!

For me, it's toss up between the Omega Speedmaster and Zenith's El Primero / Chronomaster Sport.

I have always found the Daytona's face to be oddly out of proportion and the colour schemes often odd. So much so it looks ugly.

My apologies to the Rolex "Paul Neuman" fans, this is about one of the most boring-looking Chronometers on the planet, I don't care how iconic you think it is!
