JimmyGee Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think my: 6239,6241,6263 & 6265 Daytona count is now about 10. I don't know anything now, so you should have seen me a few months ago when I bought some of these watches. I knew even less. Anyway, I ended up with some great ones but also with a few "so-called" vintages that had "crown guards" that I once read were called "Sofia Loren" or "Big Lady" but they didn't belong to that era of vintage Daytona's! I know I've posted pics. of them here somewhere, but I can't find where. If I were to file the Big Lady's "things" down, would I end up with two huge holes where the "things" were? Or, would I get rid of the "Big Ladies" and have a nice, shiny, smooth surface without "holes" that would looks more like the vintages were supposed to look? That is, without the "Big Lady" Crown Guards? What I am asking is if the Sofia Loren "bits" are solid or hollow? Please, Thank You. Gotta stop sipping wine at 4 am as I'm getting the Titles wrong and I don't know how to fix em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I suggest you take your cases to the nearest hospital and have them X-rayed. Then you'll know if the CGs are hollow or not. Nah, just kidding! Odds are even that they're solid, so pull out your file and have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have nothing to loose really as these so called Vintage Daytona's with the lady "bits" were as cheap as chips and I just don't have the heart to sell them on to other Noobs like I was or should I be honest and stay still am? Was in hospital a few weeks ago having MRI's and CT Scans ... so why didn't I think to hide some watches in my pockets to get them scanned? ... but that's me, I get always get great ideals if someone tells me first. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn. Better you didn't, as they'd probably be a touch out of timing when zapped by a 7 Tesla magnetic field... Not that you'd know as they would have very permanently embedded themselves in the wall - along with your wrists ) MRIs are great machines. I wish you well mate, funny post about the 'ladies' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
