    My cousin worked for Paul Newman at his 'Hole in the Wall Gang' Camp for Kids in Connecticut for over 20 yrs. At one time, I was a part-time fly fishing guide on the Housatonic River and one day my cousin calls me up and asked if I would take him and a friend of his out for an afternoon of fly fishing. Guess who the 'friend' was? lol Paul was one of nicest and most down-to-earth people you'd ever want to meet. I took them out once more after that and I would say 'Hi' to Paul whenever he was racing at Lime Rock Park. Hand to God, you'd never know the guy was a movie star by the way he conducted himself. A class act in every way and and someone who is truly missed by all who knew him.

      I ran into Paul Newman many times while racing in the 1980's. Enough times that he knew me by name. I never got his autograph and never took a picture with him. To me he was just 'Paul' that loved racing.

      Did Rolex also get “lucky” with the GMT, Explorer, submariner, and datejust?? Rolex builds the best tool watches on earth. People love to bash the brand and say it’s all marketing. But at the end of the day, no brand built a better, more reliable sports watch.

    I understand that this is an iconic watch and related tó a great actor, but IT is still inferior to a Patek or Chopard geneve and certainly not worth that much. But demand dictates

    • @whereRbearsTeeth
      @whereRbearsTeeth 4 місяці тому

      Inferior in what way?? Rolex are built to be rugged, purpose built tool watches. And in that regard, they are without a doubt superior to both of the brands you listed, as well as just about every other brand. Try taking ANY patek diving or into the mountains in sub zero temperatures and see how long it holds up….

    which is exactly what I intend to do ! I WILL have a exact copy I can wear and enjoy and frankly, I could care less if someone does not like it !
