Here is a pic of a 6542 that I had on my wrist at Jacek's. I agree with Michael that these are special, first of its kind, but can only wear with special care do it the bakelite's fragility. But so cool!

If you care about what others think, you should buy the one I most desire: WG Pepsi.

What about 1675 with square crown guards?

I love the GMT. It's hard to go wrong with any of them, but I will admit I don't much care for the root beer versions.
