Dressing the 6542.
By: amanico : April 15th, 2014-07:11
Ok, the natural combination is hard to beat, to say the truth: The bracelet goes very well with its neutral look, and even better when the watch is that colorful, with its red, blue and sometimes brown accents. But what would be life without risks? So I p...
The Devil, and you, Bill, is in the details. ;) Great!

I agree with you that the bracelet is hard to beat, on the 6542. And this Big Logo is a cherry on the cake that only the Vintage Role Fans can really and fully appreciate. DAMN! Best, Nicolas.
Unbeatable and perfect combo!

Can you guess the price. I have a catalog in pounds. Also they have sold at Christies for silly money. Ok I will tel in 1960 it would cost you 84 pounds. Crazy. As you can add three zeros to get today entry level version. Bill

.....the nature of the dial and bezel make sit really hard to match this watch with a Nato...i agree that the brown is the best of the pick, but I suspect the bracelet is a long way ahead.
me too !!

Brown leather

nato strap is a very nice combination, probably the nicest. I use one of them in my white 1680 and it looks terrific. I agree with you, GMT's are hard to combine with leather straps or nato colours. What I realized, after viewing your splendid photographs...

Brown Nato

works very well with your 6542. I am not sure the steel bracelet is the best option? Not at all in fact. On a big crown sub perhaps and on a gilt, black laquer dial perhaps but not on your 6542. I am in the Nato camp on this one...! E
