Proctor 5 Posted June 5, 2020 I remember seeing this piece quite some time ago and can’t remember who had it. It’s been stuck in the back of my mind since. I believe it was a modded 6542. Does anyone remember who had this? I’d love to build one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paccbet 7,176 Posted June 5, 2020 They have them now at TDs https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=20834 but if you want a Pan Am caseback as well, JMB is the man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted June 5, 2020 You're probably not looking for an homage, but Steinhart did a serviceable one as high quality as the rest of their line: https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/premium-line/ocean-1-vintage-dual-time-premium.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Proctor 5 Posted June 5, 2020 @paccbet thank you for the info. That’s awesome! @NCRich you must be who I was thinking of. Good looking! @FunnyStarSystem love Steinharts! Dammit. I hate being a noob all over again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted June 5, 2020 Do a search for "6542" on the board. There are actually quite a few of these floating around in wrist check and build/mod threads. They are all pretty spectacular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCShrek 494 Posted June 5, 2020 If you are looking to build, you can go high or low...Ruby dials plus a viet case set would be great but you can always start with a decent base from Kuvarsit (a different watch than Trusty has as the price shows). There's a whole thread on RWI about the differences of the two but the KW one seems to be more precise. If you want a higher end look to your insert, repmaster1234 may still make his from scratch but Tripdog custom paints and lumes his. I assume Trip would sell just the insert. You will find Reps creations on EBAY mostly as he's rarely in these parts any longer. Of course both Yodog and Tripdog are also great with their complete custom builds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHEPennypacker 14 Posted July 1, 2020 The Yodog and Tripdog builds I’ve seen of this are masterpieces. As is Kilo’s. It’s the kind of thing that looks like it’d be at home in a fine art gallery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
