Rolex 6542 Build

Recommended Posts

Been a fan of the TS Station 6542s but not a fan of paying 600 plus dollars for essentially a relumed dial for their aged version. So why not just buy a cartel and see where that goes right?

 

I'm pretty pleased with the output, especially considering the input, a few hours of creativity and a cartel 6542.

 

Aged pretty much every bit of the watch. Relumed dial, hands

Added the all red gmt hand and a shallower crystal

Powered by a DG3804B slow beat

 

Now it's time for pics eca47f8ca9c34177f7627bef19958367.jpgaa0d47e34b09b0737131e203159084f7.jpg42d0c26dcedf9d299f6eac2824b90981.jpga99b9a1368c87ee85ddfcc6bcb303acd.jpg59ee6aa348f60a360317bc9c3b5f7bcb.jpgb2dec7eefc641c7d017127a764be5e49.jpgcc3545f85655cbd37d3654e2b391a1ed.jpg00045d70242365f9e9c6b7cdf7e0f556.jpg9426fafe7940e245609c2974c066aa2c.jpg3e95c8ee0c1170514c44fa787e35e5ec.jpg8f44257531d24fd1806917a7c5cb9d62.jpg

Looks very tasty indeed.

I've never attempted aging a watch up until now, but I might just dive in and give it a try sometime soon - starting with something simple, of course!
