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.
Best.
Another fresh picture of my Rolex GMT MASTER 1675 Gilt from 1966 with its " new " insert.
Here no decorum, just a black background to focus on the beauty of this watch and its insert. A strong love affair... Best, Nicolas ...
Exquisite piece.
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.
Well, there were not that many 6542... Made from 1955 to 1959.
How many? 3 or 4000 made during these years? Best, Nicolas
A very nice 1675 Gilt !.. I couldn't quite identify the crownguards - are those PCG's ? Or regular ?.. I would have guessed the 2nd ?!
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...
Thx.. & BTW, I just thought to share one quick pic of my 1675 and one of the beloved 6542, happy me..
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.. ...
A perfect match.
These days prices for inserts are going crazy. But you got a great looking one for sure. A+
