Rolex 6542 & 1675 GMT

The Rolex "Pepsi" GMT is one of my favourite. The Rolex Ref 6542 without crown guard is smaller then the 1675.

Only recently it has come to light that this model was actually worn by Pussy Galore in the Bond Movie, Goldfinger. The same movie that immortalised the Big Crown Subs

Nice Peacork!

Rolex spare parts

The joy in collecting vintage watches lies in the search process. In addition to collecting vintage watches, during the process, I have also managed to find many spare vintage dials which may come in handy in the future....
