If I had 10k i'd totally buy it for my dad. That would be the perfect birth year rolex. I love the bakelite inserts

That would be a very good price especially if bezel insert was real and rest of watch in reasonably good condition. M

and sold on forum :-) still a nice little beater.

If everything is original including bezel the price i think would be a total steal.

If the insert was original it would be worth close to 10k by itself!

A 6542 in original condition costs more than 10,000 anything! Haha
