$15.5 hammer, all going to charity. Good show all around.

its definitely not all going to charity. some % going to the newman foundation but i'm not sure anyone knows how much

Can't see anything less than $15 mil on this one. There's no more famous single timekeeping device in the world other than maybe Big Ben, and Rolex will bid AT LEAST $10 mil just to keep it for their museum and probably with some sort of in-perpetuity agreement with Nell to help fund her charitable endeavors.
Turns out you were spot on well done

His accent confused me. I thought he was saying 50, not 15.

I find this an utterly boring timepiece, and with the auction about to kickoff, I'll guess $9.2M hammer.

This Daytona, like all others, is thoroughly disinteresting and I'm glad we'll never have to hear about it again after tomorrow's Hodinkee / other press ejaculation. Off to some plutocrat's safe, never to be seen again!
