The Vintage “Holy Grail” GMT Master

Bakelite Bezel Automatic Watch

-Rolex GMT Master “Coke”

The Rolex GMT-Master was first created in the 1950s as a collaboration between Rolex and Pan Am airlines. Pan Am needed a watch for their pilots that could track a second time zone, since long haul flights were introducing the phenomenon of jet lag. In 1954, Rolex introduced the reference 6542 GMT-Master which featured a Bakelite bezel. This first GMT-Master reference had a number of innovative features to make it useful for pilots, including the dual timezone bezel, lack of crown guards, and the caliber 1036 movement.

In 1959, Rolex upgraded the GMT-Master with the introduction of reference 1675. This second generation GMT-Master now featured an aluminum bezel, crown guards, and a new movement called the caliber 1565. The dial also evolved from the rare gilt dials between 1959-1967 to a white graphics dial. Reference 1675 introduced new bezel colors as well, like the famous red/blue 'Pepsi' bezel and later the 'tiger's eye' dual colored bezel. The GMT-Master 1675 remained in production until the late 1970s, cementing its status as an iconic aviation watch.

One of the most iconic and sought-after versions of the early GMT-Master is the ref. 6542 "Coke" bezel model from 1956. The nickname "Coke" comes from the red and black bezel colors being similar to the Coca-Cola logo colors. The black and red "Coke" bezel insert was one of the very first dual-colored bezels offered on the GMT-Master before the more common blue and red "Pepsi" bezel. Given its short production span in 1956 only, the Coke bezel GMT-Master ref. 6542 is incredibly rare and commands a huge premium over other bezels among collectors. An authentic Coke bezel 6542 in good condition is the holy grail for GMT-Master collectors. The unique colors and rich history make the Coke GMT-Master one of the most prized and valuable Rolex sport watch models ever produced.

This particular reference 6542 GMT-Master dates from 1956 and has quite a fascinating provenance. The reference 6542 was famously worn by Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, gaining the nickname "Pussy Galore" amongst collectors. Although the GMT-Master was a fixture in the Rolex lineup for decades, the reference 6542 had a relatively brief production run from 1954-1959. Given its age and the fact it saw regular use over the past 60+ years, this example has survived in great condition. Most remarkably, it still retains its complete and unrestored Bakelite bezel intact. As expected for an original bezel of this period, it does show some wear and damage but remains stable and intact. Under a Geiger counter, the radioactivity reading is consistent for a watch of this era, further confirming originality. For a collectors' piece of this significance, finding one in such untouched condition is like discovering buried treasure.

Gray & Sons - Top Watch Repair Service Center For High Caliber Watches

When a vintage Rolex GMT-Master lands on our bench, a precise restoration process begins. We carefully unscrew the caseback, looking inside searching for clues of the watch's past life. In this case, the movement needed a full overhaul, ultrasonic cleaning and re-lubrication to restore its butter-smooth functionality. Go to Gray & Sons Jewelers to browse pre-owned Rolex GMT Master watches.

-Rolex GMT Master “ Coke” Ref.6542 Case and Oyster Bracelet

Our watchmaker becomes a meticulous surgeon, slowly disassembling the watch into its component parts. The watch hands are delicately removed like precious artifacts. Gaskets and crown extracted. Bezel unthreaded with care. Crystals freed. Each intricate piece is assessed and planned for restoration. After everything is taken apart the watch and all its parts are put in the ultrasonic for a deep cleaning. Every pivot hole is oiled, the wheel greased and the screw is tightened. This revival relies on decades of experience and a watchmaker's precision.

Dubey & Schaldenbrand Aerodyn Duo Watch Repair in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Good day Dan W.,

Thank you for choosing Gray & Sons as your local repair center for your Dubey & Schaldenbrand Aerodyn Duo in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Unlike most watch repair centers Gray and Sons like to involve our customers through the process by sending them a quick snap of the movement completely disassembled. We are old-fashioned and want to show you the work that is out on every timepiece rather than to just tell you about it. As you can see in the picture attached the movement is completely taken apart down to the smallest component. Every part will undergo a deep cleaning process using a 4 step ultrasonic cleaning machine. During this step, 3 different cleaning solutions will remove all lubricants, and prepare the movement for reassembly. Once cleaned everything will be put back together piece by piece with the application of four different types of synthetic oils to ensure longer life-span on the moving parts.

During our final quality control process we will check on the automatic mechanism to ensure the powering up of the watch and power reserve. Your watch will returned fully calibrated up to manufacturers standards. You watch repair will include a full polishing and detail on the case plus a one year warranty on the functionality of the movement.

I hope you enjoyed this look inside your special timepiece. Check with your watch loving friends to see if they have similar photos of their watches.

Thank you so much for your business and we hope to keep serving all your watch and jewelry needs.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Watch Reapir

Good day Tony E.,

Thank you once again for giving Gray and Sons the opportunity to work on your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. As part of this repair experience we would like to invite you into the movement of your watch. What sets Gray & Sons apart from other repairs centers is that we are old-fashioned. Not only we say that we do the work but we actually show you what it's done. The picture we are sending you was taken right after the movement was cleaned through our ultrasonic cleaning machine. During this process powerful vibrations along with 3 different cleaning solutions help remove all contaminants from every moving mechanism on your watch. After this cleaning process is completed and your case and bracelet are polished by our in-house polisher, the movement is ready to be reassembled.

Our master watchmaker will put your movement back together with the help of precision tools and sophisticated timing computers. Once the movement is back in place it will be calibrated to company specifications.

After this process is completed and the watch undergoes a thorough quality control, it will returned to you with a one year warranty.

I hope you enjoyed this experience and we hope that you will think of us next time you need a service on another timepiece or if you are looking to upgrade or add another watch to your collections.

Thank you

Repair service for Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox 
Watch Repair in Bal Harbour, FL

Good afternoon Oscar,

I hope this email finds you well. The service on your Jaeger LeCoultre is in progress. As part of the Gray & Sons service experience, we would like to share with you a photo of your watch as it passed through one stage of work towards completion. 
Other service providers may claim to fully and completely service your watch, but we are old-fashioned and want to show you the work, rather than just tell you about it. As you can see, we totally disassembled your watch down to its individual components. Movement parts will be put through a multiple-stage cleaning process that will use three different solutions to wash away all the accumulated dirt and old lubricants. We will then re-assemble your watch piece by piece, wheel by wheel, screw by screw, and apply four different synthetic oils to get the watch running perfectly.

We will do the final adjustments, automatic testing on winding wheels and, after a period of quality control, your watch will be returned to you calibrated to perform within manufacturer's specifications. You will have a two year warranty on the performance of the movement.

I hope you enjoy this peek inside your special timepiece. Check with your watch-loving friends to see if they have similar photos of any of their watches.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly. I will be happy to serve as your point of contact for all service, purchase, sale, consignment, or trade needs. 
Thank you

Pedro
