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...

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.

Very nice story, my friend
always a pleasure to look at this reference. thanks for sharing the pics & story cheers
