No Crown Guard Vintage Subs...Show 'em>>>>>>
I have a strong affinity for the very early no crown guard gilt Subs (Tudor Subs too)...I have my family heirloom single owner all original Ref 6205 c.a. 1954 that I enjoy wearing and sharing...how about we all get to see what else is lurking out there with the small and big crown Subs without the guards?

I know this s not what was meant but technically this is a No Crown Guard Vintage Sub. It is gone for a major service and the bracelet will be bend back in shape. I'll post pics when its back in January.

The caseback, the movement, and sometimes the insert. I'm not sure if there is anything else...

195? Sub 6536. Serial 89XXX. Dial is service replacement and was on the watch when I bought it in 2001. Restored by Bob Ridley in 2009. Looking for an original dial...
