6204 the first Sub
I agree, 6204 was released before 6200 which is only from '54 and not first. P.S. This is my "honest" 5510 ...........

What was the first Submariner?
I was reading Skeet and Urul's "Vintage Rolex Sports Models" last night and was fascinated by the section on the origins of the Submariner. So, it seems, there is a debate about which reference was actually first released by Rolex, and which therefore can...
6204 was first...6200 1 year later
My 6204's have '53 casebacks, something we NEVER see with 6200's rg.P
A continious mystery... but I will say first out 6204
Production of the Submariner model(s) started in 1953 The first produced was… one day we may find out! Till today I do not think there is any irrevocable evidence which proves which model was first ‘out’ between the two Submariner: Ref: 6205 and Ref 6204....

You're killing me. That's my kind of ( dream ) stuff. Best, Nicolas
These are wonderful pictures...
So, there seems a general consensus that 6204 came before 6205. That would make sense given the reference sequence. But that 6200 definitely came after 6204. The pictures here are wonderful. A fabulous reference.....
6204 and 6205.... any more pictures?
I'd love to see more pictures of these fabuous submariners. Any more collectors out there with these references...better still, anyone out there with both?
