Geross shares a striking image of his Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight, noting the early development of patina on its dial after just two years. His post invites readers to appreciate the aesthetic evolution of a modern tool watch, highlighting how even contemporary pieces can quickly develop unique character. This phenomenon sparks a conversation among collectors about the practical and personal aspects of watch ownership.
I have to disagree that it’s a “chick magnet” - I’ve had mine for 2 years and I’ve certainly not noticed an increase in attractive female interest. Clearly mine’s not working correctly. 😏Regards Kev.
New watch with factory patina.
I use my bezel also. When a watch friend was on visit, he turn the bezel back at ‘12’ position. I said, “Why not use a bezel? An easy way to time things. This is handy with boiling eggs. Timing when i swallow a vitamine tablet. Gaming, when a war ship enter enemy space, i must manually check my ship. So my bezel of my SMP300 is at any position. Current the tri angle is at ‘2’ o’clock position.
A lot of watch for your cash. And with quality and pedigree. 👍 Geross.
