.... in 1960!

How about this guys! Rolex recalled the GMT 6542 in 1960 because the bezel was being questioned for the Atomic Energy Commission.

I have heard about those watches. Just out of curiosity, are they collectible or just another vintage piece?

Thanks guys. I wish the photo was larger, but it was resized down to a postage stamp.

Mr. K, the 6542 GMT is highly collectable. First, it's like the James Bond Sub because it lacks crown guards, but it has a date function, which was not available on the Sub until the introduction of the 1680 model in 1966 or 1967. These GMTs are getting harder and harder to come by.
