I accidentally fell on these pictures I took on a friend's 5508. A nice Exclamation Dot Dial, in superb condition. We have a lof of Bic Crown Fans, here, and there are some excellent reasons to explain that passion: The strenght of the Watch, its characte...  

Here's my 5508, with a flawless mirror gloss gilt tropical dial, and original tropical "long 5" insert. Enjoy :) ...  

Great watches amigo Nicolas! Though lacking the strong image of their Big Crown cousins, these SC no guards got the charm and distinction of a timeless design. You already know this 5508 gloss with exclamation dot and the big Rolex inscription bracelet cl...  

Veeery nice example, Amigo... Un abrazo, Nicolas

... I have shown here some time ago, my first 5508 with a very bad dial (replacement), which keeps me off completely enjoy it. Case, movement, etc are very nice, but dial is the "face" of a timepiece and regretably is not good. Will see what I can do with... 

May 2014 provide us THE solution! Un abrazo, Dexter. Nicolas.

Ah that combination really does it for me. I love your small crowns especially the 6205 with the purple faded bezel. That watch is a dream my friend- but according to my memory in another post you don't have that anymore? Or do? As to your 911. Well my gu... 

Except for my 5508, all the other Subs have found new owners! ;-) And the 911 is a 2.0S short wheel base from 1968.

I need to get a few fresh pictures of the set. Bill ...  

If I bring all the watches with me I will need a private jet. A+ Bill

Just a few days. Big hug. Bill

...but got beaten to the punch! For sure, the SC adds something different to a collection. Elegance....yes. But it has a totally different personality to most Subs. And personality goes a long way

.......and mine still had its old insert.... ....ooh...that was below the belt.

Eternal BAD insert, still... :) Best, Nicolas

Beautiful watches. So much to love - the great cases, the great individuality of the different dials, and the KILLER red triangle inserts! Great watches all! One day I hope to join the NCG Club! Best, Mike
