Welcome to the forum I believe your only real route, is to build one yourself from available parts, rather than purchasing a completed replica... Best of luck

Welcome.

No mass produced replica of the 6538 exists. Closest are some red triangle 6536 or 55xx's. This is where a DIY or Franken project comes in.

Enjoy,

A number of the collectors on RWG offer something close (sorta...........kinda), but, as the previous 2 responses mentioned, I have never seen a credible-looking 6538 (or 6536*) rep. These are pretty much build-it-yourself projects.

Thanks for our reply....have any pics of selfmade 6538?

Here's mine...

The base was the MBK 6538. It is not a good way to start. The best bet would probably be a NDTrading case and go from there.

I installed a MY bezel and a Brevet crown so far.

It still needs a ton of work. I need a dial, hands, bezel insert, drilled lugholes, etc., etc.

It's like everyone says, it's a DIY project.

A 6538 is essentially a 6536/1 with a larger 8mm Brevet crown (which is both expensive & difficult to source). Here is my 6536/1 with standard 6mm Brevet crown & 'tropical' dial

Or, if you prefer a Bond strap
