I'll definitely get one, build a negative gilt dial, age hands and relume so that they match my dial, age case and bracelet and ... Enjoy ????

Possibly, it looks pretty close to this Clark’s

Yes sorry, I meant a 125 plexi, I forgot about the cyclops. There is no tension ring holding the crystal in place in this watch construction though, right?

Loving this, but with the SELs being so off, it'd probably need to live on a leather strap or Nato for me.

So kilowattore can we mount an original Rolex glass? Can you tell me the exact wording of the glass

Hi Hor-Fan
What about the inside diameter of the rehaut (dial opening) ?
Would you kindly measure it and tell us the dimension ?

This watch doesn't have SEL's - they are as hollow as a heart of any man who is browsing this thread without a 6542 on their wrists or inside their watch-box

I’m not 100% certain, the bezel track looks like it may be a separate piece pressed into the case to secure the crystal.

I’m hesitant to try and pry it without a proper bezel removal tool for fear of damaging the profile.

I must say this option (without the artificial aging) looks also very good on the photo. What's your feeling Hor-Fan, worth going for this option if you don't plan to mod it?

the profile is different, I had written it yesterday, the dial would be well done, but unfortunately the characters of the words Serpico Laino are different from the original , specially in O

I think it looks fine, though the dial lume plots are cleaner than the lume on the hands. It would be easy enough to hit them with a little watercolor to age them yourself, not worth the extra $90.00 to have them do it - imho.

That seems like crazy money to me! You can get one from Ruby for half that.

And that would be a 1675 dial afaik. The inscription below GMT Master should read "officially certified chronometer"

Yep. Here’s a gen:

You're right kilowattore I had not noticed this detail because phong reports it for 6542

If you can't see that, you'd probably be fine with a budget dial.
