Does not look like tape to me.

 

Is not lume paste how you can see on other Vietnam dial or plastic plot like the cartel 5513 or the relume job make here by some expert guy

 

Check the 12 triangle seem like a fabric cut from a sheet and than glue inside the print plot ..

 

Like this material below but with a brown velvet /grainy texture ..

Hi

 

In my 6542 recently bought from kuvarsit there are lume dot that look like old tritium at distance but in macro pics seem like velvet fabric..

And on the bottom of these dot there is like a yellow paper.

 

Maybe they use adesive lume tape sheet that cut with hollow cutter in circle and triangle?

 

Only a curiosity, do you have already saw this lume tape with grainy velvet effect ?

 

[mention=175]alligoat[/mention] yes in Italy the custom is a problem so I have chosen triangulate shipping ..

[mention=16926]joeyB[/mention] which cheap case option we have other than expensive (600-1200usd) phong and ruby ?

The jkf cartel are not correct also if you work on it for thinner the case .

because the rear case and caseback are not gen spec.

This rep have the correct caseback profile see pic below

 

 

Below hontwatch 6538 caseback ( think is jkf ) that for what I know is not gen spec

 

 

 

Got it, thanks

Here's the one from TS Watch- looks to be a little more pricey

TS watch for what I read is not a trusted dealer so I don’t give too much trust/credit on the pics , also this dial seem print with a home printer ..the word are all grainy..

I have already a 2846 on my drawer not sure if a real eta or a copy.

 

brevet crown ? athaya maybe have this or other source ?

 

The bachelite in reality is black not blue but seem a very deep blue how some old 6542 see gen example below the link

 

 

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=616336

 

Forgot to mention that the TS with s&L have deep blue insert ..

 

I have a doubt about the triangle indices at 12.

On this rep there isn’t gap between the top of the triangle and the chapter minute ring .

 

Seem like the 1958 batch (see vetroplastica link forum below )

Maybe some expert here can confirm if this mark/batch exist

 

 

https://www.vetroplastica.it/Rolex-referenza-6542-21.html

 

 

Also found this discussion not clear if gen or rep about a similar dial

 

 

https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vintagerolexforum/thoughts-on-this-6542-dial-please-t39341.html

 

 

 

 All the watch on sale on chrono24 have this dial with the space between the triangle and minute chapter ring .

 

Serpico & layno...

 

On rwi there are many discussions about these watch

The case is really thin only the lug are
A little long but resolvable with some manual file ..

Yes ,

but if I remember correctly TS have only the one with s&L dial ..

 

The dial is not a real gilt obviously, but IMHO this dial is already nice, so is not necessary change it with another one, like you are obbligate with the jkf cartel. So are 150/250 euro saved.

 

 

Sorry

Maybe kuvarsit have change the website because this link don’t work..

A lot of toilet paper  Dan ( you got that right) , why bother. On another note I checked on their site did not see, you have a link?

In mean all the 6542 in chrono24 have aftermarket parts not state or also toilet paper sometime..

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I thought this was gen and you were talking of modding it as if were a rep

 

Gen? Hahaha

so is such a beauty ?

Maybe the toilet paper legitimate any crap like the one on sale on chrono24..

"coming soon with some light mod: i think switch to 2846 low beat, shorten the lug , add some scratch on the case and faded the bezel."
 
Hahahahahaha!

What do you have to laugh? Are you drunk?

hello guys ,

recently bought it from kuvarsit at exorbitant price 😞,

but is the one without the word s&l on the dial and better plot lume indices .

 

the bezel is black/red .

 

coming soon with some light mod: i think switch to 2846 low beat, shorten the lug , add some scratch on the case and faded the bezel.

 

for now some pics with homemade guarantee certificate paper and tag..

 

 

 

 

That’s a nice dial. I am starting to really like the tropical dials and I think I need to get one for my next build.  Nice work man! 

 

Ask to Ruby’s or check on ebay sometime come out some nice example at good price 120usd o something like that . Are all Vietnam imho the same pure that sold mq at hight price .

 

 

Wow ! How do I get to this level?

Haha thanks but not that hight level ..

read the spec at the beginning of the 3D!

Tks for the tip..

 

My ghost insert in reality was my mistake.

I was looking for a gray color so I put the insert over a oven flame and I reached the perfect gray color .

But than I put it on a glass with bleach and all the gray color instantly disappear and leave only this ghost effect !

 

But now I’m satisfied with the result :-)

The ghost amplify the brown of the dial..

 

 

Update

New ghost insert !

Maybe I’m wrong but seem exactly like my ruby the surface is not like the gen that is matte black but with a charcoal grey texture ..



Anyway is a nice dial ..

[mention=27923]thorne[/mention] the MQ base dial texture is matte like gen or with a uniform painting not perfectly matte but a little glossy? Almost like a plastic surface

 

Because i bought a tropical brown ruby 1665 and have this effect like a plastic painting ..

 

 

I know well how is a gen because I have a gen dial 1680..

 

Ok the sun the color change to almost ghost brown..

Change the insert with a brown Slay one
