The ages of the galactic globular clusters belonging to the disk subsystem are still widely unknown. By considering the HB morphology Richtler et al. (1991) were led to the conjecture that some of the disk clusters may resemble the populous intermediate-age clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, but no main-sequence photometry was published at that time. We now present B,V photometry for the clusters NGC 6496, 6624, and 6637 (M69) which in all cases show the turn-off point and allow reliable age determinations.
