Which are the more sought after No Crown Guards Submariners?

[Stratton]

I know they're all sought after and I was wondering which of the No Crown Guards Subs were more sought after. Perhaps Mike and the other vintage experts and enthusiasts could put the 6200, 6204, 6205, 6536, 6536/1, 6538, 6538A, 5508 and 5510 in order of collectivity in their opinion? Thanks very much in advance.

I don't know there's a bad one in the bunch. LOL! I would probably look at the 6200 first and then perhaps the 5510. I would guess the 5508 would be the last of a very desirable group.

Thanks a lot, Mike. Where would a 6536 fit in? The reason I ask is that I may have the chance to buy one in excellent condition with what I think may be a service replacement dial.

Depending on condition they seem to be in the 13 to 19K euro range right now.

In my view it near the top of the food chain.

It is a matter of personal preference, but I would rather like to spend my hard earned money on a DRSD or Red 1680 than on any of the earliest Subs. They are simply too thin in case profile to my taste, and I don't care much for the milled bezel.

As much as it pains me to say so, I have to agree with you there Bo.
A 6200 was on my grail list until I saw one in the flesh and it just didn't do it for me and the 6536/8 would be the same.
