Sharing some GMT Love... (PART 2)
Hi friends!
As promised in my previous post, I´m sharing some photographs of another example of GMT in my collection.
This one was catched at beginning of year 2013, but somehow I had never taken pictures of it.
It is marked II-65 in its case back, and I keep it with a Jubilee bracelet for a change. I am not very fond of Jubilee bracelets, though I must recognize they are very comfortable to wear. I usually prefer Oyster bracelets in my vintage Rolex, but I feel that the Jubilee looks very nice in old GMT´s.
The dial of this example -gilt-gloss- is in very nice condition and adds to the charm of this watch. The bezel is nicely faded, but I´m looking for another bezel with the blue sector faded almost to silver-gray.
Hope you´ll like this one too!
Best cordial regards, Abel.

Another feather in your cap. Great catch
This Rolex business is a real addition. Super example. Now what is your next target? Best Bill
Thank you so much again Bill!! Lot of dreams in my wish book!...
... a nice caramel dial GMT and a minty dialed four lines 5512 would complete my Rolex theme... I guess! Best cordial regards Bill! Cheers from Buenos Aires!
You have great taste. I will send you some pictures.
to corrupt you even more. You are a Rolex disciple without a doubt. Bill
Thank you Bill! Your pictures of pieces from your awesome collection always add ...
... more fire to my Rolex passion! Look forward for more pictures! Have a nice week end! Very cordially, Abel.
To be honest, I am not a big fan of the Jubilé for the GMT.
I much prefer the Oyster. But this specimen is top, too. You also have the 6542, don't you? ;) Best, Nicolas
Ahh yes Nicolas, I know you are not fond of Jubilees on GMT´s...
... and I´m not fan either of this type of bracelet, but in GMT´s I must confess I like them... in a few of my GMT´s. Regarding the 6542, yes I own one (on a riveted Oyster bracelet), but it has some issues on its dial, and to solve that is one of my stro...
Totally agree. This 6542 needs some efforts. It is such a terrific reference.
Good luck in your hunt. I spent most of 2014 to find some parts and service some of my watches... It takes time, and quite a lot of money, but as said, it is really Worth it! Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas
Totalmente de acuerdo Nicolas! Yes, I will devote a lot of time...
... during 2015 to solve this matter of my 6542. This is a watch I bought early in my watch collector career and this is not a timepice to be bought by a rookie. (I learned that with experience!!) Case and movement are Ok, but dial is so so, as well as an...
Thank you for your kind comments, and glad you like this one Matt! ...
... my pleasure to share it here! Kind regards, Abel.
Another great example Abel
I agree 100% concerning the jubilee, it looks great on a vintage GMT Master !
Thank you for your kind comment Jeff! Glad you like this other GMT...
... and share my gusto for the Jubilee (at least in some GMTs!) They add for a different look to a classic timepiece. Best cordial regards, Abel.
Yes Fernando, I also like the other one more, but this one is a nice one too. I feel...
... that if I find the bezel insert I dream with (silver-gray on the blue sector) it will enhance the watch so much! Thank you again! All the best, Abel.
That's really going the distance!
In admiration of your attention to details. ;) Best of luck in your search Abel. Fernando
Thank you again Fernando! As our friend Nicolas usually says: the Devil...
... is in the details! Small things here and there make for the added charm of our timepieces! All the best for you my friend! Very cordially, Abel.
My friend nice shots...and nice GMT..for your colection!!!
All the Best Abel..!!! A big hug. Juan
