The Rolex Daytona 6241 , when introduced , had a significant upgrade over the 6239 . Instead of having a solid steel bezel , it was fitted with a very modern black acrylic insert , which has a tachometer scale printed in white . This watch is further distinguished with its Paul Newman dial , which has become incredibly fashionable and sought after today . The case is very crisp and retains original proportions . The numbers between the lugs are easily readable without the aid of a loupe . The dial is original and in good condition . The watch is furthermore fresh to the market .
