WOW. Ironically just DAYS before this original post I was on vacation in Hawaii looking at old travel posters and noticed a PanAm 6542 in an old ad. I spent a couple hours researching how to build one but quickly realized to "do it right" would require a lot more time, patience, skill, and money then I have. Well, you and Jase certainly "did it right" and then some! Enjoy it in the best of health.

agreed, unfortunately my crystal popped out with the bezel assembly lol, off to the watchmaker tomorrow to put it back in as I do not have a press.
