A sublime watch, the patina is marvelous on this one.
And your photos, of course, are beautiful as usual.
Rolex GMT MASTER 6542 summer saga.
There are two watches I wore the most during this summer, the Reverso Septantième which didn't receive much wrist time all along the year, and the Rolex 6542, which had an opposite treatment. The Reverso Septantième summer pictures are already posted. I w...

On another note, I just realized you have indeed fogotten your treasure at home.
Thank god for that. I am really glad for you.
Aaah ! This 6542 !
The 6542 is always a very special ref to have in a collection, but THIS 6542 !!! Mama mia ! It is a dream alive ! Your pics are really superb, but the watch is sublime. Everything in this one is terribly exciting ! The dial, the insert, the case... everyt...
I don't spend my time to worry about the bakelite. I live with it, and quite well. It is one of the jewels of my collection.
Thanks, Mike. Thanks. Best, Nicolas
Obviously an everlasting LOVE!
Wonderful story. Wonderful trip. Wonderful pics. Wonderful watch! Enjoy this beauty! Wear it in best health! P.S.: I would dare to swim with it! Why not? At least with fresh and properly installed seals... ;-)
Just curious...
Repair time and - related to this - time of separation too long or not repairable / completely recoverable? Best, Thomas
I will not find another dial like this easily.
And I don't want to pay 10 K euros just to find such a dial, in case of problem. It has been serviced. Seriously serviced. No watchmaker will tell you " go and have a good swim with it ". If he told me such a thing, I would run and find another watchmaker...
Although I would trust a brand like Rolex
I can very well unterstand your points! But that leads me to conclude that the results of the WR thread some weeks ago aren\'t really applicable to vintage watches? Best, Thomas
In theory the 6542 is WR to 50 meters. NOS. But what about the plexy? It is water resistant enough when used?
Sorry, but I won't play with my treasure. Even if, with new seals and a new plexy, some will say that 50 meters is enough. I don't want to come back and cry after a ruined watch, just because I wanted to test its water resistance. If some want to play tha...
I do not think that anybody else travels in style like you!
Always a great watch on the wrist and each is a jewel for any collector. Do you get any far actually as many people must always approach you for your watch?
It's an exceptional watch.. There has been a certain reluctance on my side to just casually wear it.. Changed meanwhile & I enjoy it !
As you were witness of some lucky find of this NOS Plexi (115 if I remember), - here just a little collage of one of my most significant pieces in my moderate "collection" Continue to wear it n the very Best of your health & Thx for your repeated encourag...
