dropbear2008 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I am in the process of building a 1980 serial Daytona 6263. Looking at various pictures it seems at least some of the 80s 6263/6265 have a polished instead of a brushed case back: http://www.watchcent...ph-Daytona-6263 Given the original sticker I assume this particular watch has left the factory with a polished case back ? On another note the pusher cut-outs are the same as on my Phong case... Edited September 28, 2012 by dropbear2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 The pusher cut-outs tend to vary & 62xx Daytona casebacks were polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbear2008 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks. Already took the polishing wheel to my Phong case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Beginning with the Zenith-powered Daytonas (1988), the center portion of the casebacks was brushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Patrizzi says that the later 6239s (1966 and later) had a straight-brushed caseback. Mazzariol shows a brushed caseback on his late-6239 example, but doesn't make a note of the finish. I think it might have been done after leaving the factory. In any event, you're safer with a polished back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
