Rolex GMT MASTER 6542: Another nice detail on mine.
When I bought my 6542, it came with a service aluminum insert and a " - " crown.
I first changed the service bezel for a correct bakelite insert. That was a huge addition, as you can imagine.
Then, I received the original " red chronometer seal ".
And three days ago, I was gifted a " + " crown!
Here with the " - " crown,
Now, the " + " crown:
The quest of perfection will lead me to find a correct set of hours, minute hands, longer, and the lollipop second hand. Which won't be too hard.
Then, as I already have the papers, the correct box, which is a true challenge, and the nearly impossible to find " man on the radio " booklet. And I will be in Heaven!
Thank you so much, Bill, for your help and this wonderful gift.
Best,
Nicolas

Fascinating journey!!
Of a fantastic specimen 😍😍👍🏾 Thank for sharing your great story, my friend. Cheers
pardon my ignorance
but what are the differences of the hour, minute & second hands? your existing hands VS the correct one. cheers
Here you are.
The minute hand is longer and reach the minute indices ring. The second hand is white and lollipop. The difference for the hour hand is way more subtle, I agree. ...
Aahhh... I see
Many thanks for the explanation, my friend. Hope you can find those hands in very near future 😊 Cheers

The scavenger hunt is the best part to me! Currently looking for all the accessories for my 2000 P 16570 Black face... Love the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of success at the end!!
