Hi Guys,

Would love to hear your opinion on this refinished 6542. Also note that the bezel and insert are aftermarket parts.

Thanks

It is basically a case, caseback and movement for sale.

Man...They lay it on thick in their descriptions.

I would recommend that you find a correct GMT - probably a model 1675.

The 6542 is a creation of parts- which is what it will always be.

I'm not sure where a 'SWISS MADE' dial fits within the 6542 dial hierarchy ... am I mistaken or does it slot right in at the fakee end ? And those hands

I'm good with full gilt SWISS only dials, matte SWISS <T25 dials, and for a lucky few, the gilt service dial ( I forget the lume notation on that one). I don't seem to recall a SWISS MADE dial in the legit. 6542 range.

Insert is nothing more than a $200 replica item and fairly realistic brass replica bezels can be found from about $300

6542s are so difficult to bring back to original specs - there's enough replica parts in that one for it to be a very expensive franken / homage item for me
