 By: Subexplorer : December 10th, 2014-17:42
Hi friends! As promised in my previous post, Im sharing some photographs of another example of GMT in my collection. This one was catched at beginning of year 2013, but somehow I had never taken pictures of it. It is marked II-65 in its case back, and I ...  

Another feather in your cap. Great catch

This Rolex business is a real addition. Super example. Now what is your next target? Best Bill

Thank you so much again Bill!! Lot of dreams in my wish book!...

... a nice caramel dial GMT and a minty dialed four lines 5512 would complete my Rolex theme... I guess! Best cordial regards Bill! Cheers from Buenos Aires!

You have great taste. I will send you some pictures.

... more fire to my Rolex passion! Look forward for more pictures! Have a nice week end! Very cordially, Abel.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of the Jubilé for the GMT.

I much prefer the Oyster. But this specimen is top, too. You also have the 6542, don't you? ;) Best, Nicolas

Ahh yes Nicolas, I know you are not fond of Jubilees on GMT´s...

... and I´m not fan either of this type of bracelet, but in GMT´s I must confess I like them... in a few of my GMT´s. Regarding the 6542, yes I own one (on a riveted Oyster bracelet), but it has some issues on its dial, and to solve that is one of my stro... 

Totally agree. This 6542 needs some efforts. It is such a terrific reference.

Good luck in your hunt. I spent most of 2014 to find some parts and service some of my watches... It takes time, and quite a lot of money, but as said, it is really Worth it! Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas

Totalmente de acuerdo Nicolas! Yes, I will devote a lot of time...

... during 2015 to solve this matter of my 6542. This is a watch I bought early in my watch collector career and this is not a timepice to be bought by a rookie. (I learned that with experience!!) Case and movement are Ok, but dial is so so, as well as an... 

very nice GMT Abel

I agree 100% concerning the jubilee, it looks great on a vintage GMT Master !

Thank you for your kind comment Jeff! Glad you like this other GMT...

... and share my gusto for the Jubilee (at least in some GMTs!) They add for a different look to a classic timepiece. Best cordial regards, Abel.

Yes Fernando, I also like the other one more, but this one is a nice one too. I feel...

... that if I find the bezel insert I dream with (silver-gray on the blue sector) it will enhance the watch so much! Thank you again! All the best, Abel.

That's really going the distance!
