1956 Rolex GMT 6542 with Tropical Serpico Y Laino Dial

Case & Bracelet

Excellent case that has been polished in the past. The bakelite bezel is cracked at the 12, 5 and 7 o'clock sections of the bezel but is original to the watch. There is some light discoloration on the bezel due to age. The caseback is stamped: 6542 IV 56 Excellent Shell Cordovan Strap

Dial

Very Good Gilt Chapter Ring Tropical Serpico Y Laino Dial. Most of the lume has flaked off the dial with age. There is some light chipping on the dial above the R in Rolex, to the right of the 5 o'clock marker and, over the last S in SWISS. The black portion of the dial has aged to a brown hue. The hands have been relumed at some point but the 24 hour hand appears to be original.

Accessories

None The watch is running at COSC spec.

    I came across their site after seeing a Paul Newman Daytona on Uncrate. I’ve been looking ever since and I must say their prices are very very good.

    Once I found what I was looking for, I emailed them and Scott was very prompt to respond. Payment and shipping was seamless.

    Buying vintage is all about buying the seller. In this case, HQ Milton is the best in the game when it comes to Rolex.

    Amazing customer service. Straight shooters. Watch was perfectly described. Thanks guys! Couldn’t be any happier.

    Overall, this was a truly fantastic experience buying a vintage watch. I was very happy with the advice and and my purchase in the end. HQ Milton has earned their reputation and my experience lived up to expectations.

    Before I purchased the watch of interest I scoured the Internet and could not find a comparable price for what I purchased. I’ll be back.
