“Interestingly, the tropicalization process is absolutely even throughout the center of the dial, with a strong metallic copperish tone, but presents a deep purple shade towards the periphery.”

From the only close-up picture offered it seems TGTBT...



The original dials wouldn’t fade into a radial sunburst bronze methinks, and magically not include the periphery.

Perhaps to good to be true but it is quite beautiful. I do wonder what it will look like as the process continues.
