6542 "Pussy Galore"... one more

[Bart Cordell]

In recent weeks we are assisting a 6542 galore, three beautiful builds from our master @tripdog, one from @Jsebwc, and something tells me that we should admire some others in the coming weeks
I wish to participate in this movement by presenting my humble interpretation of this mythical watch.
It is far from the most beautiful of the lot and it is not without defects. The crown side has been sanded too much and the window date of my dial is a bit too small.

Specs are :

Reshaped 1655 case.
"Vietnam" bezel assembly with bakelite insert.
Gen 24-600 crown.
Clark 24-6020 tube.
Clark cyclope 116.
Raffles small GMT hand.
DG3804 movement.
Gilt dial.
Open 6 & 9 roulette date wheel.

Love that dial, great work with it and a really fine watch, no matter what defects you say it has, can't see them!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY UNUSUAL WATCH!! As a long time member and noob, I always have something new to learn, this specific watch category is an example. I've never heard of it, but I HAVE, now!! THANKS for the enlightenment.

Awesome build, honestly with such a high interest now in vintage Rolexes, I really hope the factories build a close to gen spec 1675 case

You know how you get fixated on something like a certain car or lets say a 6542 and suddenly you see them everywhere you go?

I'm being pulled into the 6542 vortex! help!
