It is an AAC Tirant 9mm. The Tirant was actually purchased for my Beretta 92F, but for some reason, it keeps ending up on the 5. Go figure.
I have a Griffin Optimus on order (if you are unfamiliar with them, check this out) for the 5 & some .30 guns, so I can put the Tirant back on the Beretta.
I know that some RWG members own guns & a couple of inquiries about the guns I occasionally use as props in my watch pics inspired the idea of posting a thread dedicated to members' guns. So if you have any, please post them here - with or without your watch. NOTE - If you are bothered by guns (as I used to be........so I get it), please skip this thread as it is intended solely for the entertainment of gun enthusiasts & not meant to be a political statement.

When I got into computers, hackers were pretty much all 'peacenik', hippy types, who appreciated the liberty & freedom that hacking provided. But not anymore.
Today, it is not just pickup-driving, bible-toting conservatives who are into guns. The new generation of hackers have found that guns & shooting equates to personal freedom & liberty -
There were at least 3 different versions of those early Sub bezels (that I am aware of). If you search the gen sites, you will see. This was typical of Rolex sport watches in the 50s.
My guess is Rolex either changed the design as production ran or the bezels were sourced from different suppliers, but that is only a guess.
I have never tried it, but the 555s are designed for a Datejust case, which has a different profile than a 55xx Sub case. So I do not think they would fit properly. Whether they would fit at all, I cannot say. Unless someone else has tried it, you would need to try it yourself.
Depending on what you mean by 'crank down', you should never apply alot of torque when installing a caseback. Snug, using the appropriate tool, is all that is needed. Any tighter & you run the risk of damaging threads, warping the caseback, coming into contact with the movement or having difficulty removing it.
A number of Rolex initial production models in the 1950s and early 1960s were fitted with Brevet crowns (later production shifted over to the standard crowns)
