Bokey TimeHello everyone, I’m Bokey. Today, I’d like to introduce to you the classic Rolex Daytona Blaken Paul Newman model designed by Blaken. This model is redesigned and modified based on the C factory’s Panda Daytona. It has a customized matte outer ring, IPK three – dimensional fonts on the dial, and IPK substitute hands. The modified Paul Newman Daytona has an unparalleled texture. Now, let’s introduce this Blaken Daytona Paul Newman through pictures and text.
Review of the Clean factory’s customized and modified Rolex Paul Newman Daytona:
At first glance, the appearance is similar to the Panda Daytona. The overall color scheme is a combination of black and white. The black timing eyes are very eye – catching, and the white hands are all substitute hands with a full sense of texture. The overall hands have no burrs. In terms of craftsmanship, the substitute hands are truly no different from the original ones. The hands also have a solid central axis in the middle. When it comes to modification, we must also consider an important point. And the tip of the timing second hand is painted with white ink. The vintage – style dial is also different from the current version. It doesn’t have the CD – like pattern of the current version.
Regarding the bezel of the watch, after this modification, the bezel of the watch has been carbonized. The matte – black outer ring gives a stronger sense of texture, and the tachymeter scale numbers appear more clear and three – dimensional. The design of this bezel and the dial of the whole watch promote each other aesthetically, making the watch very vintage – looking.
The mirror is made of high – transparency sapphire crystal glass, making the dial completely visible and very clear. Under the small crown at the 12 o’clock position on the dial, the functions of the three – eye plate are still the same as those of the Panda Daytona. The 3 – o’clock position is the 30 – minute timing plate, the 9 – o’clock position is the 12 – hour timing plate, and the 6 – o’clock position is the second – hand sub – dial. The numbers on the three small eye plates use large white scales, which are more three – dimensional. Compared with the ordinary Daytona, the hands are changed to black, looking cooler. The hour – mark scales are also changed to a flat shape with no difference.
The overall basic material of the watch is 904 stainless steel. We also polished off the raised shoulders above and below the crown to restore the design. This process is relatively difficult. The current version of the Daytona has two shoulders. If Big C hadn’t mentioned it, many watch enthusiasts probably wouldn’t have noticed this. After cutting, a polished effect will also be made. After polishing, no cutting operation can be seen from the side of the watch. The case diameter is 40mm, a standard size suitable for both men and women to wear. The conservative idea that girls can only wear quartz watches is outdated. Now, it’s common to see girls wearing Submariners and Daytonas, which makes them look more heroic and charming.
Regarding the back of the watch, this Paul Newman model has added some other elements, such as the official BLAKEN logo. These fonts are also a symbol of the watch. In terms of the movement, the Dandong 4130 movement is used. For the movement, it not only makes the watch’s functions synchronize with the genuine version in terms of aesthetics, but also in the later use process, there won’t be too many repair problems. The appearance structure of the movement also synchronizes with the genuine version in terms of aesthetics, and it also maximally restores the thickness of the genuine version in terms of aesthetics. The addition of the 4130 movement is also a highlight of the watch!
Looking at the strap, the material is 904L stainless steel. The whole strap is finely ground and brushed, with a very delicate texture. The connection between the case and the strap is also well – fitted without any looseness.
Summary: This Blaken Paul Newman vintage model, modified based on the C factory’s Panda Daytona, shows a vintage style with the replacement of the panda dial and outer – ring hands. You can compare the overall effect of our modified version, and it feels like it’s been carved from the same mold. Many watch enthusiasts pursue vintage – style watches. Now that there is such a modification technology in China, it’s very convenient to get the desired style.
