1958 GMT-Master with gilt dial

Having enjoyed a rather acquisitive few months I feared that my lucky run had ended for a while, but today completed the purchase of this 1030-calibre 6542 with 4xxxxx case number, case-back IV.1958







It's a pretty little thing; high time I expanded my GMT range. Now, how do I apply for a bigger signature on this forum?

Just add a period Bakelite bezel and your signature expands automatically.

Very nice 6542!

A bigger signature isn't required if you give me your two 1665 DRSD , that will free up some space

Superb, What a watch!
I hope the bezel is offered to you, hopefully some kind soul will pop in with a bezel for my Milsub too...
