GMT 6542 looking for an experts opinion
... therefore I connected to the forum.
I am lingering around on buying a sweet vintage 6542 or 6575 for quite some time. Now, I came across this one, but I am uncertain about the originality, minute hand does not match, some things quite dont feel right. What do you say to this one? Any advise is highly appreciated. Best, |

The Bakelite Bezel looks to perfect to me,But I’m FAR from an expert on these.The tops of the lugs also look super polished.

Looks like a combination of replacement aftermarket parts.

The dial is not original for sure, ive seen many 6542s and very well verse with the dial layout, this looks like a very early aftermarket dial. The bezel looks great, but somehow doesnt have that gen like feel. The case is severely polished and is in bad shape.
I would stay away from this. |

To keep it short, nothing is good here. The dial is fake or likely terribly refinished.
