1958 6542 GMT Survivor
I don't post on here often, but wanted to share my recent pick up. A week ago I got an email from a local jeweler who had acquired a 1958 from the family of the original owner - I met with them a few days later and worked a deal.
It has some stories to tell based on the the well loved condition. Here is an IG video: https://www.instagram.com/p/By0Sqo5n..._web_copy_link

Wow that bezel is nice. I'd be careful though, that's a lot of radiation.

That is awesome. Wow. Is that a big crack in the crystal or a scratch?

Thanks everyone for the kind words. The crystal has some scratches, but I am planning on leaving as is. The dial is pretty clean, there is a small chip on the chapter ring between 12 and 1 and some spider cracking. It’s still very glossy and has a deep tobacco leaf color throughout with some honey tones between 9 and 12.
I was very lucky on this one, as I was with my 6536/1...they both came to me! |
