Another 6542. My favorite vintage Rolex. And I much prefer the Tudor 7924 to the Rolex 6538. I am lucky to have both the 6542 and the 7924. Two keepers.

My first Rolex GMT MASTER 6542.
I bought this 6542 in 2009, and sold it to a good friend of mine in 2011, to upgrade this reference and get the one I really wanted which I fully enjoy till now. Here you have an aftermarket bakelite bezel which is not too bad looking, a service tritium d...
Agreed. You must have more generous friends than me 😜
Mine are mostly tight with their money. M.
Such a beauty. Lucky first seller. I’m sure he missed it all that time.What reference did you buy after having sold the Pussy Galore back then? 6538?
Bakelite is to die for. Even after market if well done, like this one you photographed. Credit: imago images / Everett Collection Always see the parachute scene when I see the 6542. ...
Ah OK upgrading this reference!

Both lovely,
The only GMT master model I really like... Any news about the Black Bay GMT?
I saw it last week in Barcelona,
It's definitely thinner than a Black Bay 41. Besides, I'm not sure that they will make a new smaller movement with complications for the 39mm case!
6542 is really a very special ref.
As you know I love nice GMT's and have a soft soft for beautiful 1675 gilt particularly and of course nice 6542 ones. Really cool specimen here even with the aftermarket insert which of course makes a big difference...
Very nice story, my friend
always a pleasure to look at this reference. thanks for sharing the pics & story cheers
