Beautyfull!!!What do you think??

[Devedander]

Looks very nice except for the crown guards andt seems the bezel numbers are poorly aligned/have their butts eaten off and the 4 is too narrow.... and the inserts red/blue doesn't line up right... instead of splitting the six and just crossing the 1 like it does in the top pic...

Actually the whole bezel looks different around the edges too on the grip area (sorry, dunno what that's called) is the top pic a different version or something?

..i love this style of bracelet...

[Devedander]

Bracelet does look nice from what I can see... rivets and all...

[XRT]

It's a starting point. This style of dial should read "Oyster Perpetual" (without the word "Date")

This dial most often is seen on a pointed CG case with the small GMT hand.

The lume is way too yellow.

The bezel is too thick.

The crown is nice though.

I think that we can conclude that it's pretty nice; but no matter what, the 28800bph is way too fast.

Okay you talked me into it. I'll take TWO of the first photo. That's by far the best rep of a GMT yet.

I'll take one from the first photo, too

[alligoat]

Is the gen a 6542, or a 1675?

Date mag on the rep is kinda small, the bezel is different from the gen and it looks like a sub case- not the GMT crown guards like on the gen. But as XRT says, it's a start.

Also, I thought they added the Date to Oyster Perpetual on the later 1675's.

[XRT]

I thought they added the Date to Oyster Perpetual on the later 1675's.

This dial is supposed to be an older style dial, like that on the no-CG 6542

It can also be found on the pointed CG version of the older 1675's (one on the left)

'DATE' was added to the 16750, I believe, to indicate the QS Date function...

Yes, this is correct. It also should be noted that there are some luminova replacement 1675 dials that have 'date' printed on them. They are uncommon, and generally, they lower the value of the watch for obvious reasons.

WHEN OH WHEN OH WHEN is someone going to make a believable 6542?

Damn right, Bob.

[XRT]

WHEN OH WHEN OH WHEN is someone going to make a believable 6542?

sounds like a challenge...should be relatively easy though (if you have the $$.)

start with a WM or MBW no-CG case (like the Bond Sub or the Milgauss)

buy an aftermarket Michael Young bezel, insert, small GMT hand and dial

And if you are really picky, you'll need to cough up more for a genuine movement with the alternating red/black numerals...or you can have one custom made to fit a slower beat ETA...oh the options

[XRT]

Here's my WM Milgauss. It does sit about 1mm too posteriorly, but it really is not enough to make a noticeable difference when seen on the wrist.

Perhaps there is another movement that might work.

[eunomians]

Interesting question, XRT. I've been wondering this for a looong time now.

Cheers

[XRT]

I wonder if you instead started out with the Wo-Mart case and just grinded down the CGs completely, then tried to fit a MY bezel to it?? Does that bezel fit I would be fine with it not rotating as long as it looked about the right size.
