Err buddies...whatever you do with your prized possessions of vintage Rolex watches...
having the stunning n wonderful...Patina effects that has occurred naturally... DO REMEMBER this... ![]() NEVER should you keep your prized watches... near to prolonged exposure...to bright light source... such as within any display stands or cabinets... under any incandescent lamps... n BEST is to stay well clear off...being near to the extreme heat of ANY... Tungsten Halogen Lamp... ![]() The prolonged n extreme Heat/UV rays...would in quite certainty accelerate... the aging effects...causing untidy blisters or fading... n inconsistent spotting...on the surface of the Rolex Dials... especially in Black Glossy paint...or Black Matte finishing... ![]() Here's what Orchi believes to be the one that had been subjected to... prolonged exposure to Heatwave n UV rays...either from the bright Sunshine... or under hot light source...that probably has accelerated this particular Dial to deteriorate... disintegrate...crack up n fade... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This other example should illustrate the Patina effects...which would occur naturally... more or less to a certain extent...due to oxidation process...n moisture or the lack of it... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Here are my offerings Orchi. My 1982 16800 Submariner with the original Matte dial and hands. I know the picture quality is bad, but you can see the patina.
