Dressing the 6542.
Ok, the natural combination is hard to beat, to say the truth: The bracelet goes very well with its neutral look, and even better when the watch is that colorful, with its red, blue and sometimes brown accents. But what would be life without risks? So I p...
I can get used to Nato combo with gmts especially.....
With the first Nato strap in your pics! Moreover your stunning 6542 will look good with any way you dress it my friend This message has been edited by on 2014-04-15 08:23:35
The Devil, and you, Bill, is in the details. ;) Great!
I agree with you that the bracelet is hard to beat, on the 6542. And this Big Logo is a cherry on the cake that only the Vintage Role Fans can really and fully appreciate. DAMN! Best, Nicolas.
Unbeatable and perfect combo!
big logo bracelet in such a splendid watch it really hurts! Congrats! Kind regards
This e as was a bail able for sale in 1960 at .
Can you guess the price. I have a catalog in pounds. Also they have sold at Christies for silly money. Ok I will tel in 1960 it would cost you 84 pounds. Crazy. As you can add three zeros to get today entry level version. Bill
If i am honest...
.....the nature of the dial and bezel make sit really hard to match this watch with a Nato...i agree that the brown is the best of the pick, but I suspect the bracelet is a long way ahead.
Indeed. Too many colors is not good.
But the leather Nato is quite cool with the dial... Best, Nicolas.
Brown leather
nato strap is a very nice combination, probably the nicest. I use one of them in my white 1680 and it looks terrific. I agree with you, GMT's are hard to combine with leather straps or nato colours. What I realized, after viewing your splendid photographs...
Your right, the brown Nato is superb, but I actually also..
..also like the blue / red stripe! it sets off the bezel, or helps to highlight it even more!! Great set of photos. Cheers Tony
The Blue Red seemed to be logical for the 6542... But I got tired of it quite quickly.
But thanks for your feedback, my friend! Nico
Actually.. our better half might say.. there is never enough of handbags AND shoes.. Thus.
.. why not for our/your bunch of NATOs ? - The last one, you chose is a "Natural" choice, a winner with enough extravaganza, but still a great match to the watch.. HOWEVER: I really like a lot the leather (middle ) one, as a nice surprise and different, n...
It has been said here, that we are Big Childs... Lol...
... and as childs we have learned from our Moms how ladies like to play with their shoes and handbags! How could we miss this early learnings and do the same with our own toys now? I also get much fun playing with changing straps and bracelets and changin...

What strap....i dont see and i am not interested.
That is the most beautify bakelite GMT i hv ever seen. My god nikolas.....these pics clearly shows its superb dark tropical.....never seen anything like it before Congrates mate Iceman
Brown Nato
works very well with your 6542. I am not sure the steel bracelet is the best option? Not at all in fact. On a big crown sub perhaps and on a gilt, black laquer dial perhaps but not on your 6542. I am in the Nato camp on this one...! E
