So.... is the 6263 NON Exotic dial Daytona considered a Paul Newman?

[Yazo]

From what I can gather the PN's are mostly considered to be the exotic dial 6263, 6239, and 6241's. But I was reading Jake's Blog the other day and came across this:

And I quote:

"The stainless steel Rolex Daytona [Reference 6263] with the black dial and black bezel insert that Paul Newman is wearing in the above photo as well as the photos below would look just like this one. Notice, that this watch has screw-down protectors on the two chronometer buttons, unlike the 6241 with the white dial that we already examined"

In another article it states:

When I asked Mr. Newman about these theories, he stated that he was unaware of how his name became attached to the watch, and he didn't recall even wearing a Daytona in Winning. Furthermore, he stated that his first Daytona, and the one he currently wears, was given to him by his wife in 1972, the same year he started his professional racing career. It is worth mentioning that the aforementioned watch is not a Paul Newman (exotic dial) model at all, but rather appears to be a Daytona (model 6263), with black dial and white registers.

So what gives? Are PN's ONLY the exotic dial, 3 color Daytona's or ir the 6263 NON exotic dial considered a PN as well? Because apparently Paul Newman wore the 6263 NON exotic dial for quite some time...

Thoughts?
