The 6542 GMT had this plastic insert with lume painted on its base, so the numerals glow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakelite is a form of early industrial plastic, made by the reaction of carbolic acid with formaldehyde. It was quite brittle and I think Rolex had a lot of problems with it and hence replaced it with metal. crystal is plastic as its keeping with the vintage. Yes, I do like it a lot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave47 6,477 Posted May 20, 2020 Hi, Group! Welcome to Tuesday; and, remember: be safe, be healthy, be patient. Our ancestors did in 1918-1919. Today's ride is this 39mm ROLEX EXPLORER I purchased a number of years ago and worn occasionally. An entry-level Rolex, it has the cleanest appearance of most ROLEX watches, imho. dave: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intresting 21,694 Posted May 20, 2020 This is the 6542 with the darker more "Coke" than "Pepsi" bezel. I reckon I can harvest these Romas by the weekend 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted May 20, 2020 Here's a bulletproof Parnis sterile handwind I bought from local Rawbaws ages ago. I dropped a fiddy dial in it and mounted on one of my homemade Chicken Foot leather straps.

Looks like you've been wearing plenty of others since receiving it : ) Since I got mine onto NATOs, it's become my biggest go-to watch, especially since COVID. Classy but not too blingy, doesn't catch too much attention but still totally respectable. I find that essentially, it ticks the box of flying under the radar while still being a super nice, 'feelgood' piece. My wrist was between any decent size for the bracelet adjustments on hand : ) Edited May 20, 2020 by Oris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
