Bezel fade 16610LV

Had a little break whilst walking the dog today and took this photo, I’ve had this watch since 2006 and used to wear it 24/7 for almost 10 years where upon it went into rotation. The bezel seems to be gentle fading from the dark rich green it once was, I really like it as I feel the watch is “getting old” with me.

The bezel fade looks great & especially the fact you have had it since day one.

Man that sure must be a nice feeling. To be the original owner and to see your watch patina with you. That is a lost art today.
Wear in health.

I’m a desk jockey but like to spend my time outside and plenty of swimming.... the watch has had a hard life, been through two crystals and a new clasp but it’s there to be worn.
