Rolex GMT MASTER 6542. The booklet has landed!
I got this watch exactly 11 years ago with its COSC Certificate and its warranty. I got a " Rolex + " crown, which is the correct one, and now, the 6542 Booklet, thanks to Bill who kindly gifted it to me.
The watch on its papers, and the booklet, now.
You know my love for this watch and reference. This is one of my top 5 keepers, from my collection. During these last 11 years, I tried to find all the stuff and parts to make it the most complete possible.
There are only few things which I am missing: The lollipop white second hand, the box and the 6542 tag.If I can it would also be thrilling to get the Big Rolex Logo on the clasp to make it even more perfect. It takes a lot of time, for sure, but these vintage watches teach you something we are more and more missing, in our current days, something which is called Patience.
You will rightly tell me that the most important is the watch. But making it the most complete possible is something truly rewarding. Each step you reach is another source of excitation, thrill and happiness. Especially when it comes to a reference you are totally mad about.
11 years after, this gift is a superb and moving way to celebrate this anniversary.
Best,
Nicolas

I am still remembering when we/I found the right Plexi at AdM. Meanwhile, that 6542 is one if not THE Rolex keeper in my humble stables.. All the Best, 🙂🙂
Thank you…
The manual is a real treat…I love that 20 out of 21 captains comment…who was the 21st that said nah…it really not that great 😆🤣😂…also I have wondered (true of both Rolex and Omega GMTS) why they don’t print a small 24 hr table on the dial itself as it wou...
Happy 11th anniversary!
a fantastic anniversary gift, kudos to Bill! and thank you for sharing the journey you had with this gem, Nico
I love these stories, Nico.
Hunting and then finding accessories can be just as gratifying as getting the watch, depending upon the level of challenge. I have multiple watches of the same type -- exactly the same type -- because I found that I liked hunting for just the right ones. ...
Superb! Congratulations from CH
I feel honored to have been able to see the watch in person. And I am envious… Best Richard
Fantastic pictures! It is so much fun reading that booklet...
My favorite part is "you know that Rome time is six hours later than New York" though 🤣🤣🤣

An extremely important time capsule right here.
The detail in this particular merchandise is critical for Rolex lovers and watch fans generally.
What a nice feeling to be able to get a step closer to completing something as iconic as a 6542..
and from Bill, no less! This hobby is, after all, about the little things ;-) I wonder how difficult it is to get the other missing pieces vis-a-vis this booklet.
