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...

My first Rolex GMT MASTER 6542.

Nice story.

That's the big advantage to deal with friends. you have more chances to see your old loves. ;)

Agreed. You must have more generous friends than me 😜

LOL!

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?

No. This one...

Got it. I thought it was the same reference.

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.

Ah OK upgrading this reference!

Yes, you got it right. The bezel is original but changed for a less radioactive one.

Jaw dropping grail!

Ah, yes, this one will go into the coffin with me.

Great story on ami

Thanks for reading it, Tony.

Both lovely,

Still waiting to see if they won't launch it with a 39 mm case...

I saw it last week in Barcelona,

You man the Tudor BB GMT 39 mm????

No, no, no...

Ah, my heart went faster... ;)

Amazing bond

Thanks for looking, G M.

Great story! do you like this one more on an Oyster then on the Jubilee?

On Oyster!

Very cool history to this one and even with the non original parts it still looks great 👍

Well, the insert is not original and maybe the hands which are service. But the rest was really cool.

6542 is really a very special ref.

Of course, but I started to wonder if I shouldn't add a 6542 with a service dial and a classic aluminium insert...

You’re story reminds me a watch is much more then just an object; it can invoke so many memories and history. Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely!

Very nice story, my friend

Merci, Watcholic.
