A Top Brown Duel of Rolex GMTs....
Do you know any sexier Rolex than these 2 GMTs?
On the left, the mighty 6542, and on the left, the infamous 1675 Cornino, chapter ring, gilt dial.
To be honest, I literally shivered when I took this picture.
Since I got my beloved 6542, I had only one obsession: To find the good moment to take such a picture.
Both are stunning examples of how captivating a brown dial can be: More complex on the 6542, more uniform on the 1675.
But each of these two has its own personality, due to the lack of the crownguards and to the presence of the bakelite dial on the 6542.
The top of the Vintage Rolex GMTs?
I have the naivety to believe so...
Enjoy!
Best,
Nicolas.

You shiver..
They give me goose bumps. Such is the power of these vintage GMTs! I actually saw another 6542 today - a rare sight, together with a PN. Unfortunately, they are both out of my league. I went with a friend to 'hunt' for these vintage pieces but for now, ju...
Not really sure that the 6542 is really out of your league, my friend.
It all depends on what you're looking for. For example, the previous 6542 I owned, now on Patrice's wrist, was much more affordable than this last one, and very lovely, too. you could also start with one of these Chapter Ring, Cornino 1675... They are not...
Hey, Bernhard! Cool to see you back!
I needed to post such a pic to see you coming back here! Thank you so much, my friend. Still working on the Big Crown topic, by the way... Best, Nicolas.
You can't imagine how happy I am with them.
Still need a Military GMT to close my GMT Collection, though... Never ending story? Best, Steven. Nicolas.
That IS a crazy beautiful pair, Nicolas!
The chocolate makes me hungry for some GMT’s… In October you really have to explain the mystery of the GMT for me! Best, my friend Blomman
A feast of an unbelievable diversity, which is a bit the problem, Edward.
As you could, if you would, build an exhaustive collection of Rolex GMT watches... It would take years, a lot of money, but hey, what a pleasure it brings! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
They look like they just came back from vacation
A breath of fresh "sea" air make these beauties smile and ready to face the world. Great pair great stories behind each of your conquests. Bill
Well, you already saw the 1675 brown, as I took it with me while at the IGOTT II.
now, you will have to see the other one, the " Pussy Galore ", which is really pussy, in the flesh. All the best, my dear friend, and thanks for your nice words. Nicolas.
