Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Paul Newman"

In the wonderful publication, "The Best of Time - Rolex Wristwatches" by James Dowling & Jeffrey Hess, it is suggested how a particular model of the Rolex Daytona was nicknamed the "Paul Newman". It went onto say that Paul Newman appeared in a film titled "Winning" in which he wears the aforementioned watch. The 1969 film "Winning" is a car racing movie in which Paul Newman plays a racing car driver. I have seen this movie and I’m unable to see the Daytona on Mr. Newman’s wrist but I may be mistaken.

Eugenio Zigliotto’s article in International Wristwatch No.23 states, "in a film involving the Carrera Panamericana the famous actor wore one of these chronographs". Osvaldo Patrizzi in his book "Rolex Wristwatches" mentions the movie set in the Carrera Mexicana, the race setting in "Winning" is the Indianapolis 500. The suggestion by Zigliotto and Patrizzi that Newman wore the watch in the Carrera Panamericana, in my opinion is wrong. The Carrera Panamericana took place from 1950 to 1954. Dowling’s and Hess’ other explanation on how the watch was named seems more credible. They write that Paul Newman was on the cover of Italy’s most popular magazine wearing the famous Rolex.

The movie "Red Line 7000" clearly shows a Rolex Daytona. To see the same coloured chapter ring and subsidiary dials on the watch, there would have to been a close-up shot of the Daytona in "Winning". If the Rolex appears in the film could someone please inform me where? So set your Daytonas, Navitimers, Speedmasters or the VCR tape counter. Confirmation and any other comments regarding the Daytona would be greatly appreciated.
