Jesus, $20k just for the insert... :shok:
Bananas. And I thought 1675 inserts were expensive... I wonder how rare these radium bakelites really are?
Looks like Rolex used Radium until 1960, and the 6542 was produced until 1959 (if google isn't lying to me), so all original bakelite inserts should be radium based, as fragile as they are.

It's an insert with the bezel ring and the tension wire, if they are all original, off the same watch, then it's very rare to see them come up for sale.
I've seen inserts with cracks and chunks missing out of them sell for $5k - they were very fragile then, and are probably even more fragile now
