Hi Gents !

For those of you interested in 50'Subs and their evolution, here are few shots borrowed from P. STAHL Instagram, about one of his recent acquisition : a beautiful military version of our beloved Ref. 6538.
Take a look to that bezel, "prototype-lly" made to be even easier turning around in deep water missions for the MOD divers. Big crown, "german silver" Bezel and Red Depth dial...

There were two flavors of bezel for the A/6538, the two piece and the solid "German Silver". The photo above is from Mike Woods on TZ-UK several years ago:

omg how dare you question Stahl. :nono:

 

I know it's sarcasm ;)

 

He's finding all those great grail watches,  like the Pan am Daytona,  the white albino explorer,  one of a kind A 6538..... Back in the days (not so long ago)  he had a watch shop in Holland,  Steiner!

The all known Vintage Guru sold milsubs with Omega sword hands,   so called fake Comex watches he bought on the bay for nothing and sold them for 10.000€,  etc... 

You can read a lot more about him on the Dutch fora. 

I have a nice story from my personal experience with him. Avoid the vintage Guru/puppet player!

If you knew! I need to sit down for a few days and finish what's on my bench.... 6536/1, 2x6538, 6538A, 6541, 6542, 6239, 2x6263, 2x1665, 1680... And to top it off, just finished a 6152/1 that was 10 years on hold!

I even explored my options of making a DRSD bezel mold and fill it with silver ;)
