The patina of the dial is really awesome and gives a lot of soul to this watch. 
Enjoy,

Hate to be a contrarian...

I further believe that for someone to achieve that depth of patina either through oxidation and nature or through nefarious tactics- it only turns me off as I don’t trust it and that makes me not like it ☹️ But fellas- that’s why I love this hobby- some w...
