In the mid-80s James Cox set out to college to study human ecology at the College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine. He had no idea that he would become part of the greatest wristwatch tale of all time.Replica Audemars Piguet Watches Enchanted by a beautiful blonde girl who drove her Datsun car like a bat out of hell and threw what-are-you-looking-at stares at anyone who dared to notice, Cox made it his mission to get to know her. Nell Potts was the girl, which Cox used as a pseudonym in order to give her the anonymity that she desired. She and Cox started dating after a long pursuit. It was at this point that Cox discovered that Nell was actually the daughter of Hollywood legend Paul Newman.
While Nell was pursuing a lifelong passion for the reintroduction peregrine falcons to Vermont, Cox offered Cox the opportunity to restore a treehouse located on the Newman family's Connecticut property.Omega Deville Replica Watches The treehouse was originally built in 1960s. However, the maple tree supporting it had grown and squashed it, making it nearly five weeks to rebuild.
Cox recalls that Paul's wife Joanne (Woodward) was away performing a play, and Paul would stop by to check on me in the evenings." "I had a good relationship with Nell by then, and the family was so grounded it was quite easy to get used to. We shared a mutual interest in the treehouse and would often have dinner together. Although there were always others around, I didn't recognize any of them. My only regret is that I may have over-compensated and given him more privacy than he really wanted. But I was just a kid, and he was my girlfriends father so I wanted to strike that balance between familiarity with respect.

Cool Gifts
No matter what happened that summer it is clear that Newman and Cox were close friends. He was well-known for his generosity and his lack of attachment to material objects. However, Newman made a big gesture by gifting Cox his Rolex ref. 6239 - The original "Paul Newman” Daytona. Nell giggles when she recalls her father's Zenith Replica Watches obsession with promptness. He was obsessive about punctuality. He made it a game with others. He would compare the watches of others and wager that his watch was better. He used to say, "What time do you have?" I'm willing to bet you a penny that your watch keeps a better time than yours. He also had the Speaking Clock on speed dial and his Rolex Daytona would always win.
