Patina is crazy! Maybe not for everyone for to my eye, very very unique. Have no idea how nature makes dials like this - can't just be sun exposure. But very interesting. Thanks Jacek for letting me handle.

Have a good one everyone.

Very nice.

It's a combination of aging, moisture, and sun exposure.

Very interesting. I love a tropical dial as much as the next guy but I often wonder where the line dividing patina and damage is really drawn

Fireball! It's cool, but I wouldn't pay that price for it. Prefer a nice evenly browned dial for that price ;)
