Finally: a NCG Sub
This week my 6536/1 finally arrived! Just one service mark from 1974. Original gilt dial in nice condition. And: DIRTY. I love it :-)

I love sport models without crown guards. Vintage submariners,gmts they look very balanced and more simple.

Wow, very cool! That dial is sweet! What's your watchmaker doing to it, crystal & movement? Can't wait to see the final product! NCG sub would be one of my grails for sure!

Enjoy it!

Movementservice was not really necessary so just cleaning the case and polishing the plexi
