Really appreciate all the help from everyone here. I can't express my gratitude enough. What a cool place where knowledgeable people offer to help each other. Always feel like I am taking and not giving.....hopefully at some point I can give back. I guess if someone runs into this problem with the PT 6542, I would be able to answer this question. FYI: if anyone has questions about vintage Corvette's/Camaro's/Chevelle's I can help, that is what I have spent most of my life playing with.

Thanks A, should have listened to you in the first place. A $400 lesson; although I pretty much knew what I was getting. May just put it in sales thread for cheap and see if someone wants to mess with it. Would send it to Matt, but will not keep it anyway and either way going to lose $ on this one. I am excited about the new Pepsi GMTII. I would imagine we will see a rep of that soon. That may solve my itch for a Pepsi until someone sells a really nice vintage one, or I develop the patience and more so the knowledge to build one.

That makes perfect sense to me. I thought it might be glued just based on what I saw. I just had hard time believing it would be designed that way. Almost certain to come off at some point. I think I may try some epoxy and see if I can get it to stay on. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too funny, that'a awesome. No offense taken and none given. My wife said the same thing when I was getting dressed although she was more blunt "little over the top for the board don't you think" my reply was hey "no pinstripes" conservative tie and suit so need some bling.

No one has ever accused me of being subtle...just being me. I tend to be flashy it is a character defect. I do get your point but been with them 20 years so they know me:) and kinda expect me to be who I am. Oh and by the way nice IWC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nanuq, thanks--yes it goes back on easy but will just slide back off. I will get some better close up pics when I get home.

CC thanks. I will follow up when I get home. Appreciate the help.

Wow, you guys are awesome, thank you so much. I am at work but I do think the spring is missing--hard to see with my poor pics. I will search the car and/or see if Angus will send me one. I am assuming once I have the spring I can then press it on. I am sure I will have more questions. thanks again

Thank you JoeyB. I will look closer in my car for the spring. If I cannot find it is this something I would be able to get somewhere--that will fit this watch? And how does that little spring hold the bezel on.... Thanks again.

Hello all, need some help here. I am noob and just starting to "work" on my watches. Against the advice of several members, I bought a Pure Time 6542 Pepsi. I should have listened . I will say I contacted every TD on 2 forums about this piece and Angus was the only one to find it for me. He no longer had it and sourced it from one of the factories, so thank you Angus. Now to the watch, as others already know it is not a very good representation. Spent about $400 on it really to see if I would wear a more casual watch and how it looked on the wrist. Have been researching a nice Vintage GMT build and trying to evaluate how much time and money I want to spend on this project. Here is the issue. When I received the watch bezel rotated and watch runs fine. First day I wore it, while driving home the bezel and insert fell off. The assembly stayed together, but I cannot find any kind of retaining ring or how it was attached. Angus suggested I send it back to be fixed but I have read on many posts that this is not a good idea. I am going to sell the watch once it is fixed--at a loss obviously....Pictures are coming need to upload from my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Board meeting today so suited up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry guys but I dig it, not as much as a 6542 or 1675, and certainly not 36K like it, but enough that I would buy a rep as soon as one of the factories makes one.

Bought some on amazon through clock synergy. They are ok wish the material was a little thicker. Be interested to see what others have found. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could tell many stories about this type of behavior..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Traded in a vintage 67 250 sel Benz on a not very nice 75 Corvette Roadster and gave them cash. Was in a total blackout so when I woke up there was a black Vette in the driveway and I am like WT......where is my mint Benz. I don't really like the 75's. If it was a 66 I would have been happy. Found the paperwork in the glovebox and when I sobered up back to the dealer. Got some of my cash back but not the Benz. Only reason I got some cash back was due to an add they had for the car for much less than they charged me. That is why I do not drink anymore. Been 16 years since I drank or did any other intoxicants:). Which is a good thing for everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

6542 out of box rep. Trying it out to see how much time and $$$ I will spend building one. First time using NATO strap. Nice and comfy. Good for casual Friday:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
