Yeah the signalling around Rolex is absolutely batshit, and the signaling around Daytonas is beyond batshit. Paul Newman's own sold for $17.8m because, you see, it's Paul Newman's Daytona... which is four times what the George Daniels Space Traveller sold for, and that particular Space Traveler is one of two, made by George Daniels, for George Daniels, carried around every day by George Daniels, who only ever made 27 watches, and is so worshipped by the watch community that John Rhys Davies narrated an extremely boring documentary about him. Meanwhile the watch it's based on, which was in continuous production from 1936 until 2004, can generally be had for about the price of a Breitling despite actual motorsport relevance.
