Hello everyone!



I'm a real noob to these kind of watches. Ironically, the only rep I've owned was a Noob sold to me by a friend - it fell to pieces within the first few weeks, but hey...

I'm looking to get a replica of the 6542 'Pepsi' with the bakelite dial - https://www.isringtime.com/archive/1958-rolex-6542-bakelite-bezel-excellent-dial-and-bezel is an excellent example of what I'm looking for. I'm not going to come here and expect a perfect replica for £50 - I'm willing to source one from a reputable dealer, and take my time in doing so.

Unfortunately, I do not have the physicality anymore to build watches myself, so a prebuild (or a forum member willing to get the parts and build it for me) would be essential.

Any pointers for a noob to this game?

Hi Hidden,

First of all, welcome to the Forum! To help you it would be important what your budget is, a good 6542 can get expensive very quick.
