Is the GMT-Master ref. 6542 still radioactive?Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 6542 can still be radioactive when the bezel and/or dial have not been replaced. The strontium 90 and radium used on the bezel and dial stay radioactive for a long time. After about 30 years strontium 90 loses half of its “power”, after 60 years still 1/8 part is active. Radium takes about 1,600 years to half in radioactivity. So today, it is still not advisable to work on cheap UK replica Rolex watches containing those materials yourself.
Back in the days at least one known agent of Rolex, Liebermann Waelchli & Co., issued a certificate stating that a replica watches uk was free of Strontium 90. It is not clear if more agents and dealers did this, or even if Rolex itself issued these certificates as well. Rolex issued a “Statement of Fact” in the US about the bezel.Typical design features of the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 6542.The case slightly changes during those first years but it stays without crown guards – those are introduced with the next version. The steel twin-lock crown has Rolex’ five-pointed coronet logo with a line under it, the so called “underline crown”. The Plexiglass on top and Pepsi-colored Bakelite or aluminium bezel, are recognizable features, but there is more. Of course, the 24-hour scale on the bezel, including a large triangle marker at the 12 o’clock position that helps indicating other time zones.
Another large triangle is at the 12 o’clock position of the dial. A nod to pilot swiss replica watches used for orientation purposes, with luminescent material to show the “north” position of your 1:1 China Rolex copy watches in the dark, for instance. If you look clockwise, this luminescent triangle is followed by luminescent hour markers shaped as a dot, except for the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position. At 3 there is the date, we’ll come back to that later, and at 6 and 9 there is a luminescent baton.Dial and hands of the GMT-Master ref. 6542.The original high quality replica Rolex GMT-Master ref. 6542 watches has a black gilt dial, a bit glossy. Due to the influence of light and especially due to the radioactive luminescent material the dial can become or has already become “tropical”. Which means it’s brown-ish, faded, as the radioactive material provides a vintage-like patina. However, if you continue reading, you’ll find out there is a champagne, brown and white dial too.
