Not familiar with this 6538 variation...

Have you seen this? https://www.instagram.com/p/BG-awkGQ5Yw/ I emailed him on IG to ask about it because he says it has an interesting history. I'm really interested in finding out more about it.

The bezel is abnormal... made of nickel silver and not the correct format for a 6538; the coronet is really elongated; the military trititum T in a circle; no crown guards (correct for a 6538); the crown doesn't look like a standard 8mm Brevet (patented); and the Explorer 3,6,9 dial...

Sorry if this has been posted about before. I'm really curious about this watch.

nevermind... a quick search for A6538 has shown me all I need to know. I hadn't noticed the A on it. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
