Rolex GMT MASTER 6542. THE census.

By: amanico : December 23rd, 2020-00:59

The GMT MASTER 6542 is a relatively rare watch. How many were produced, it is hard to say, but if you keep in mind that, according to Rolex is a document dated from December 1959, only 605 of them were imported in the US, we can reasonably guess that for ...

Rolex GMT MASTER 6542. THE census.

What to say?

Grazie, Simone.

Incredible post Nicolas.

Abracadabra this post👍❤❤❤

Merci, mon ami.

Yes, this one:

😍

My keeper, indeed!

Wow!! That is a very impressive article, Nico

A big pleasure. I worked on it for the past three years.

Excellent vintage Rollie....

Thanks, Ted.

What can I say dear Nicolas...Bravo!

What a beautiful one. Top charming.

Mindblowing! What we used to refer as a “modem burner” :-) (nt)

The bandwidth has suffered a bit... ;)

Wow! What a post to finish off the year. That’s my Christmas reading sorted.

I might post another one in a few days. Thanks, Kev. Enjoy the time, mon ami.

What can one say but WOW 😳

Gathering 100 6542 was my aim... A damn hard challenge! Thanks, mon ami.

You never cease to amaze me mon ami. BRAVO 👏 🙏

That was a real pleasure. But it took me 6 months to find the last three ones... ;)

Great post indeed!

Well, I think so. That's what I miss on mine. Thanks, Carlo.

You are left with a real challenge, although it doesn’t look shabby as it is ;-)

Yes, I am also lucky to have the + Crown. Now it is a matter of patience.

Wow!

I think it is in this census, Matt... ;)

it isn't. But now it is. Matt

;)

PS: Isn't this that one?

same but different

Ah ok. What is your case number?

Case

Thanks, Matt. An unusual case number for III 59.

well!...

What will you do? Swapping the case, or the case back?

probably nothing!

Do you have some informations on its provenance?

My only question is when the hell do you sleep!

I wonder myself....

Thanks for the pictures. That’s some pictorial record. The real Pan Am watch. A great piece of history.

The 6542 deserved this post. A great piece of history and one of the most sensuous vintage Rolex, in my opinion.

Wow! You left me speechless my dear friend Nicolas!! What an study on the 6542 you offer here!! This is a true document which I need to spare in my HD for reference.

Is this a T Swiss <25?

Inscription is barely visible but it says...

In this case, I think you should hunt a service dial.

Yes my dear friend! I’m after that! Not easy here!

I will open my eyes for you.

Thank you so much my friend!!

Mi placer!

🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing these exceptional photos!

Thanks for your comment, David.

Rolex 6542 mega compilation.

My pleasure, Bill. You know my love for that reference, it was worth some efforts.

Is the census increasing,

Increasing as much as I can. More than one hundred, already. Which is not a bad score!

One more added: IV 1958 SR 427 344.

That will be a miracle if you find the watch, and expect to pay quite a sum if it till has its bakelite bezel and original dial in good condition.

A curiosity... I don't know what to think about this one:
