Congrats! Great find.

I take it you aren't going to put in on your green leather strap?

Funny guy ....you should come by the store and take a look. We have a new custom showcase built just for the high end vintage Rolex collection. Glass is 1/2" thick.

I may just put the my green lizard strap on just for you....and go order a sandwich from Subway's in it...

I've been in contact with a gentleman who is the original owner of a 6204 with the Submariner name on the dial. Below is what he said...

"Mine does have the " SUBMARINER" name just above the 6: o'clock bar with a serial number of 85xxx. 15 of these watches were given to us by Rolex in the latter part of 1954 to be evaluated during our 1955 UDT Advance Training exercises." - Al


Very exciting!!!
