Rolexaddict Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Zk, Mazzariol's blog is great for photos and gives inspiration, but : Mazzariol is not really a trusted reference, what is true, he is an Italian, we know Italian are good for speeches and spectacular gesticulation, talking with hands lot of Italian are hanging after Rolex parts worlwide, ebay chitty-crappy Rolex faded parts auctions, lot of books from Italy, full of Italian catalogs of Cosmographs for sale, sounds like Italian archeologs have found a secret Rolex Vintage Watches factory, (yes, in Roswell/USA for sure) - and may be also the white GMT dial - also the Coca Cola story and Santa Klaus this white rolex GMT was never confirmed, its a myth, like PanAm pilots using a GMT master, "Oh my god ! fortunately I fly with my GMT Master ! I will know exactly what time is it here or there" advertising showing captains with full gold Rolex... ridiculous Note : No necessary to post pics with 777 and 747 cockpit with a GMT equiped wrist close up, and to try to impress me with rubbish I have spent 30 years in heavies flying worlwide, without a Rolex GMT at my wrist just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well Freddy, obviously you believe the Albino exists... I don't want to talk you out of it....it's just my and various others peoples opinion - based on facts, or better, non existing facts. Your opinion is based on stories, told by a fancy person l admit but still storys and speculation. Anyways, everyone's entitled to an opinion. However, don't think us saying it's fantasy equals us saying something bad about your project. Its a great build story - just not proven to be existing.

freddy333 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Like you, I always assumed the albino '42 was a myth, until I read Stefano's theory all the way through & considered the facts he presents with an open mind. I think he makes a compelling case for the model's existence. Of course, no one can be 100% certain on matters like this without formal Rolex verification. But, as Rolex always refuses to verify questions like this, we are left to make our own decision & I am 90% convinced by Stefano's very thorough & in-depth detective work.

How are "non existing facts" different than :"stories" or "speculation"? Oh, and it's more than just one "fancy person" who share the opinion that Rolex did make the white dial 6542.

JoeyB Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I fully understand that you have just as much 'proof' that a white dial 6542 was never made by Rolex as many others have that it was made by Rolex. If you want to pretend that you are right and those others are wrong, please do carry on with your nonsensical "arguments" in that light.

Not a single photo of confirmation... He is 1 of the authors of the Daytona Bible, but maybe you do not like Daytonas Being an expert in Daytonas does not qualify him as an expert in GMTs An interesting blog article though, and reassuring to see such sloppy dial printing on a genuine product, it certainly showcases the quality of commercially available replicas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex refuses official statements. But there are Rolex employees with access to the production paperwork, who from time to time let drop a comment regarding a watch, a dial and so on... But, as always, no written statement containing a yes or no, everything they say is in between the lines Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Apparently after investing in a white dial Rolex 6542, and then reading this thread, a Jetblue pilot had a very bad reaction. If he had only noticed the spelling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That was clearly radium rage resulting from overexposure to a bright dial Since '42s tend to have little or no glow & have been proven to be safe, it must have been another watch. Perhaps, an OPD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
