Just had my 6542 updated by Yodog. New dial, new date wheel, relume the GMT hand.

The dial is still gilt, but just gloss black now versus tobacco tropical. Date wheel is now a darker warm color. GMT hand is now matched to the other hands as it was originally still a bit too green.

This might look like a duplicate post but it isn't, haha.

Finished the rather expensive upgrade to my Mrs' datejust from a cheap Raffles to the following:

- gen dial
- gen mid case
- gen case back
- gen tube
- gen crown
- ETA 2836 (a vintage EBay non runner for £30 which I serviced and it's now running like new)


Now she'll have to stop eyeing my 1680 ;)
