Great find, Harold. I have a friend interested in selling his Pepsi GMT Master about the same age. Can you tell me what you paid for it? I do not know the value of the older GMT's. Thanks.

I also thought we were talking about the even-more-rare white dial GMT!

Yours is spectacular, though.

Has anyone on TRF actually seen a white 6542 in real life?

Congrats! I am shocked at how quickly you found it! I had been keeping up with your posts on all the forums. Awesome watch!

Well...yeah.

I like my vintage watches to look like they did in 1974-68-77...etc....


I do not care for patina at all.

I agree, I really like the new look of the vintage dials. However, just a little patina can be kind of cool too to give a watch that vintage look.
