Toadtorrent Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Wow...WOW. I love the open 6 faded dialed GMT!! I'll leave it to the masters like you and BT to tell me the actual model number.
Pugwash Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Did you catch Etto's GMT on RG? His grandfather was given it in lieu of payment for a taxi fare. Etto thought it was worth getting fixed for his wife to wear, I thought it was worth $20k. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=24729
tmg Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 What no 6542.... and they call themselves a GMT collector! Great find Freddy. These two pix (also borrowed from TZ) always makes me salivate a little .
By-Tor Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 For your eyes only (pic borrowed from TZ) That's just... NICE! And as you can see no real GMT fanatic even considers the all black bezel. Talking about nice 1675 with pointed crown guards... restorated perfectly. Well Nanuq wouldn't like this because it hasn't been beaten to a pulp.

freddy333 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 I'll leave it to the masters like you and BT to tell me the actual model number. Most are 1675s. But the real honey is the VERY rare, original GMT - the 6542 with Perspex (acrylic covered tritium) bezel, which is not 1 of the watches in the picture
gplracer Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 All of this makes me want an old sub or gmt project.....
Stephane Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 And as you can see no real GMT fanatic even considers the all black bezel. @Freddy: thanks for sharing ...wow, just wow. @TMG: aaaarggghhhhh...what else @ BT: I am no GTM fanatic therefor I'll swap my Coke for a AllBlack soon
By-Tor Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 @ BT: I am no GTM fanatic therefor I'll swap my Coke for a AllBlack soon Sell me your gen red/black insert.
Stephane Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Sell me your gen red/black insert. Hmmm...I'd love to, but I want a transformer Coke+Black
