New 6542 - budget factory option by TS-Station

[Gileto]

Hi, would you mind sharing what dealer you chose eventually? Looks good, Jtime is retiring the 6542 anyway so looking for alternative versions/ dealers!

Comes from Kuvarsit

These watches require a lot more finesse that I just don't see the factories overseas pulling off in order to ensure proper QC and accuracy. Much better to just get the components and have a builder assemble for you.

Damn, I was just thinking this was going to be my next buy. I would've bought from JTime, as well. Wonder if Marvellous can get this? Any other suggestions on a TD for the 6542?

Forgive my ignorance, is this "KS" in the TDs?

kuvarsit is not a TD

Kuvarsit was a TD on rg. But no activity anymore since months...

Anyone here who wants to sell their Jtime/Kuvarsit/TS version? Looking for a nice budget option, but Jtime has discontinued his it seems. Please shoot me a PM if you want to let yours go! Thansk

Does insert removes easy without risk to ruin it ? I assume it's glued?
Just ordered Prussian blue acrylic paint, 6000 sandpaper. And I will try to brass the bezel too...
