I like it...I have a similar collection to yours. I would try to source a couple period correct inserts for the ones with service replacements.

What guided your decision to own 2 DRSDs?

Wonderful.

For the love of all things, please source correct spring bars on that small crown.

Sorry, but really don't understand what "spring bars on that small crown" are?.

Of the 4 watches shown, one is a small crown. The small crown sub consists of the 6536 and the 5508.

Based on the profile shown it seems there is possibly a datejust shouldered spring bar in said watch. This will cause problems over time.

Stunning collection. Especially love the more patina'd DRSD. Surely, you don't need two. Send one my way!
