Well, Emilio...
I got the GMT virus very soon, at the very begininning of my Watch Love Story.
I will get my 6th in December, for Xmas.
And I wonder if I will not add one more Vintage, and 2 moderns, to close this thema...
As for this 6542, it is a Dream which comes true.
Best, Hermano.

My Rolex GMT 6542.
It took me a lot of time to decide what would be MY 6542. First of all, I wanted a 6542 for many years, as I was always seduced by the lack of crownguards, on this reference, which gives a distinctive look to the GMT. Like with the GMT, the no crownguard ...
Wow, hermano!.
This Gmt is simply stunning... a great hunt ,my dear friend. You Gmt´s collection is becoming awesome, Nico. A simply pleasure read and enjoy your post. Best, my dear friend. emilio

I´m very happy because...
one of your dreams became true. And this watch is, certanlly, a nice and great dream. Enjoy it in the best of health! Best, my GMT friend Emilio
i was waiting for this post :-)
Many many many congrats Nicolas. You know it's also MY grail Great report and stunning 6542. All the best, Reneo
Thanks a lot, Reneo. Much appreciated, my friend.
Take your time, Reneo, it is also part of the pleasure, and it will avoid you some issues, as the field is a bit mined. Therefore, there are so many desirable Vintage GMTs... I'm preparing something about them, by the way, but it takes a lot of time... Be...
Congrats Nicolas,
You have a never ending theme in your vintage rolex Congrats again, Eddy
A stunning 6542. Congrats Nicolas
Wishing you luck with the Milgaus and the vintage daytona.
Thanks, Edward...
Well the Milgauss and the Dayto are another story. While I'm hunting for several years now the Milgauss 1019, the Vintage Dayto was more a revelation, to me. I still have to dig the topic, I think. Best, Nicolas
Muchas gracias, Neto.
That would be an interesting option to consider, for you, don't you think? Best, Amigo. Nicolas
But the irony of the story is ...
That Rolex also refuses to service Vintage watches... Best, Nicolas
Congrats my friend and great post!
Always a bit of history, advice and great pics in your posts . . . I enjoy them!
Hey Sean...
Thanks for your kind comments, my friend. So, will you join me on this one? Best, Sean. Nicolas
Wow, gorgeous example !
I really like the dark brwon patina of the indexes, a stunning contrast to the white/silver writings of the dial. Congrats for the great addition my friend, and thanks for sharing with us ! Cheers Jeff
Well, I fell in love with this one, among the 5 I saw at the same time.
Hence the easy choice! Best, and thanks for your nice words, Jeff. Nicolas
he strikes again
great watch Nicolas. I really like the way in which you take the time to figure out what you want before diving in. I know all of us prefer to buy vintage with our heart, but sometimes it is better to listen to the brain and buy something that we think th...
I would say the same than I said to Jeff, Steven.
I also bought it with my heart, as I'm totally unable to buy a watch I don't like. But the temptation, and the reasons behind it, was big to go on a Gilt Swiss Dial and Bakelite bezel. As always, the fact to see it in real was the decisive solution. And a...
I always like the shape of the rotor...
Thanks a lot for this review of this GMT. I really think that the no crown protection enhances the beauty of these watches. But after reading your review, I faced another proof of the difficulties for me to enter the world of Vintage Rolex. If you don't h...
It is not that difficult.
It all depends on your degree of interest for these watches. If you are motivated, it is not too difficult, as there are a lot of material to use, check, and double check. Best, Nicolas
Yes, you're right, I don't have the sufficient motivation for the moment
Maybe later... but I have other projects for the time being. Fr.Xavier
Another Beauty
Hi Nico, I either go week in the knees or drool everytime you post pictures of a new acquistion.Its the patina, patina and more patina and the condition that gets me.Enjoy and oh that seamaster is superb too.
Thanks for your kind words, Dreamer8.
It will be difficlut to get rid of it, indeed. Best, Nicolas
I knew that it will be
mistake to open your post :0) now I have yet another nice Rolex to dream of Great marvelous gibier Best Damjan
A mistake ala Torquemada, my friend.
What a delicious pain, don't you think? I have the medicine for you, Damjan. Pure local product, to make you loose any notion of time. Best, Nicolas

Yes, I'm really happy to have been able to put my hands on this specimen, which was loooong awaited. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Oh Nicolas!
You did it again! What an amazing piece! There isn't any opportunity for me to see even one, let alone choose from 5 different variations of the 6542.Big congrats and I'm very happy for you. I get a vicarious thrill and enjoyment by your postings of these...
Well, Fernando ...
I'm working on a Vintage Rolex GMT review, my friend. But it is awfully long as a work... These GMT are so unique, so magic, Fernando, that I even consider adding some other variants, in my collection. A delicious madness. Best, and thanks for your nice w...
Nothing have changed.
Well, maybe the feeling keeps growing on me. I love it One of the coolest Rolex I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing this great review. Best. Vte
Aaah, Vicente...
These Vintage GMTs are highly addictive, my friend. It is impossible to not succomb to their charm, with or without crownguards. It is, in my opinion, a world in the world, something apart. Test, and you will see... Best, Nicolas
Beautiful Doctors watch :-)
What a post and awesome pictures. Thankyou my friend Congratulation on this truly beautiful piece. With a nice dial and not too polished case... wauw.. you are one lucky guy with this never ending GMT Passion and increasing collection. Your succeeded in f...

to me your congratulations on my tropical dial GMT, it is now my turn to do likewise.... as you said it is very difficult to make a clear mind.... my congratulations that you found the one that spoke to you... an interesting example of a magic reference b...
Congratulations...
I know how much this watch has both tortured and teased you, while atteh same time the promise of it has fired you. I am soooo pleased that you have found something that will bring you joy. It is a superb watch...congratulations. So pleased for you.
That is also the interesting side of the story, Mr Baron.
As you know, I was on to get a bakelite Bezel / Swiss Gilt dial, I thought a lot about it, then I came back to a service dial / metal insert, then to the bakelite, then ... I was on to give up the 6542... Till.... I saw this one. But you know that, for su...
Thanks a lot for your kind comments, Tim.
The funny thing is that a dealer just offered me to buy it from me, today, and I said NO! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thanks Nico
Beautiful post, beautiful watch, beautiful pics. These Rolexes are excelling in the art of patina!!!...I am looking forward o a group GMT shot!!!...As for your next babes on the list, looks like this is indeed part of what you need to complete your alread...
As for the GMT Family shot, Matt...
It seems I will need a wide angles lens to take it... Still one to come and 2 or 3 to hunt... Can't agree more with you on the fatal appeal of these patined dials, my friend. Are you on to fall for them? Best, Nicolas
Not yet...
one day maybe, but there are still others on the list, the list is long but that's also good...I can help you out on the wide angle...ciao. Matt
Well Nicolas, I don't know anything about Rolex but it looks great!
Seems that you got yourself another nice catch.... And it makes me start wondering... How many watch do you have??? Cheers, Sam
