Hi dear RWI community,

Recently, PURETIMEWATCH presented on its shop the GMT MASTER 6542 RBF A2836 V2.

I would like to ask you what you think, is it a real good deal, I would like to have your opinion Thank you

Looks rather nice. I’m not sure about the slightly “icy” looking finish to the lume.

It’s interesting to see a factory name linked to this one. The “not cartel” GMTs being offered previously by TS-Station/VintagePower - and recently by Trusty - never had a factory attribution, as far as I’m aware.

These versions that are “hand aged” do seem rather premium priced at nearly $500, but I guess that’s sort of okay if you don’t want to do any dial/hand ageing. For comparison, I just got a 6542 by BP from M (Marvellous Replica), which I bought new less than a month ago for $240 including shipping. Coincidentally it’s been worn today and is currently in bits so I can brass the bezel and repaint the insert.

I thought it felt vaguely familiar. I even checked through the forum to find the thread. The completely different factory name threw me off the scent!

It looks old which is quite great to me. Some vintage are just "too new"
