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
Let's see some nice no crown guards Subs...
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...
Very nice pair Nicolas
Here's my 5508, with a flawless mirror gloss gilt tropical dial, and original tropical "long 5" insert. Enjoy :) ...

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 will need a truck
If I bring all the watches with me I will need a private jet. A+ Bill
The stretch is booked.

Eternal BAD insert, still... :) Best, Nicolas
Great Thread!
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
