Paul,
I don't want to upset you mate, but here is one of the guy's who was at that GTG's collections and I'm not sure it is all of it.
It makes mw cry everytime I see it.
He must have £500,000 worth plus in just Mil-subs alone.
These pics were posted at Easter on VRF by Mike Woods a very welll known English collector and dealer.

I wasn't born yet either

If I remember correctly, the dials were first offered offered on model 6200

Notice that there are three different dial configurations on the ones in the picture. The one on the left is a meters first with Submariner under, The one on the top is a Submariner over the meters first and the two on the left are meters first over Submariner with a white line under Submariner

Seeing those photos was overload. I'm a bit of a newbie as far as the vintage sport models go, so I couldn't appreciate what I was seeing in the photos until some of you guys commented on the photos posted here.
THanks for sharing!

Superb! For the time being - the closest I can come to owning anything that cool are my MKII watches!
