This isn't a 6538, but I sure to like it!

I picked up this watch about a year ago. It's a Ticino and it's a homage to the 6538.

 

 

It has the 3-6-9 dial which I love, BTW with strong blue lume. It has the old style bezel and bezel insert, big crown and I put it on a no name rivet bracelet.

Originally it came on the 116610 sub type bracelet which was ok, but I like the rivet better- more period correct.

 

 

You can see the old style bezel from the side. Also, it has an updated sapphire crystal which has a slight dome to it- tougher than the plastic crystals of yore. Also, no lugholes- oh well.

One of the nice things about this watch is the 9015 Miyota beating inside. It keeps good time but I haven't bothered to time it yet.

 

I can't remember what I paid for this watch- maybe between $280 and $320. But it is WR- good for my fishing, swimming and snorkeling.

I like my Sea Viper too. I’m considering the Omega style as well
