Yes the 6542 is not crazy yet but a Bakelite 6542 has really skyrocked, especially if it come with a tropical dial. Honestly I do not understand those crazy prices for watches, which were made in large numbers.
I love the slightly faded bezel and well patined dial. An icon, an evergreen the only problem is that nowadays prices went through the roof especially for 6542 with Bakelite. Best.
Also, like your bracelet & the obvious correct buckle.. & Yes, these 1675s in good condition have gone up; glad I've found one for me + my beloved 6542, including the proper Plexi & the bakelite, well preserved. Continue to enjoy in best health, my friend...
You may remember this shot from 2015( Credits- pic: Nico, 1675: hs) - also love the gilt here + PCG & CR + ! It was on a very lucky day, when 2 gents visited a notorious watchmaker, to improve on my beloved 6542 Nice memories, my friend.. ...
