I guess you are misunderstanding what Nobel Prize and I are saying?
It says on their web site:
"Inspired by the "Paul Newman" Daytona, the dial has been enhanced ...blablabla...etc."
This is a Paul Newman Daytona:

The above ones probably being his own but some Daytonas looking somewhat like that are now called a "Paul Newman Daytona". An old reference Rolex Daytona.
I wonder what the "inspired by" part is? The price maybe... It does not look anything like the old ones.
Ah - The Thunderbird. Often overlooked for some strange reason. The steel/white gold one like yours is a wonderful version and it is on my list. The TT version - not so much.
Hi
Agree , must of my watches are mono tone ....... Steel case white gold markers etc. ..... It's a reoccurring theme for me ....
so wait, the sm300 is not in contention? how so?
i have a vintage no-date, cca 1968. i've worn him for 7 yrs straight until march this year, when i put on the blue pilot (also in the pic). he's still just fine; i'm simply rotating him now with the blue omega pilot and their new, incoming buddy, the green tissot diver (see the green dial thread)
i'm a small landlord here in philly, and i do most of the 'dirty' work with my handymen (as well as all of the paperwork, of course). in the past 7 years i/we have rehabbed/turned over/rerented over a dozen properties, and done thousands of service calls for my, and other folks', properties. the sm300 was there with me nonstop, in temp extremes, wetness/moisture, dirt/dust, fumigations, for plumbing/electric, on roofs and in basements, for cement work, with frequent power tool vibrations, etc etc
i swim, but don't dive (and never would, with or without any watch lol). i also occasionally shower as well. 😜
in the past 7 years, the watch has accompanied me to weddings, funerals, birthday parties, corporate events (mrs omegabear, unlike your dirty pal here, is in the corporate world), etc etc (where i am made to wear an expensive suit, tie and shoes under extreme duress!)
i think the sm300 is the ultimate watch for any occasion, and this is just my own, non-expert, two cents...
While I'm relieved that you shower from time to time, please tell me you dont wear a vintage SM300 in the shower![]()
