It’s nice that these Chinese copy brands are bringing back older Rolex and Tudor references. That way we get to enjoy those watches in modern, peace-of-mind-providing form. I would pick up the white dial version of yours, but I’m trying to be strict with my wishlist. That and I just know that it would be a watch that I would have to make myself put away in order for my other watches to get wrist time.
The only thing i would change would haven been to keep the modern-sized GMT arrow. It’s just better for readability than the tiny one. How well can you read the GMT hand?

It's a really well-built watch for the price. The finish of this watch is amazing. It's nowhere near the brand it's homaging though... I do enjoy "getting the look" and having a taste of the real thing, if that makes sense. I was really torn on choosing between the white and black dial... But I guess with my style, black was the more practical choice.
Yes. The GMT hand is quite thin and could be improved in terms of thickness but with the black dial, it's fairly legible. 🍻

I get what you mean. Interestingly, there are people within the fake watches sub-community who make their own 6542s as like a mod. Regardless, this is a hard bargain to beat. It would be cool if San Martin brought back their fake-riveted bracelet as an option for this tho—to to complete the look.

I see a lot of those. A lot of seiko mods, in fact. Hehe
That would surely complete that all vintage look of the watch! But in all fairness, the jubillee bracelet on this highly recommended. Very comfortable with good articulation.
Enjoy the watch hunt, sir! 🍻

Oh I meant like actual “rep” mods, not Seiko copycat mods

Ooooh hehe gotta be careful with those... To the untrained eyes (like me 😂), they look exactly like the real thing. They're getting good at making those replicas
