This is going to develop into a whole area of watch collecting, like rusty, cobwebby barn finds have become in vintage car collecting. It's only a matter of time before someone fishes as super rare Patek from the bottom of Lake Maggiore (or the bottom of the East River, come to think of it).
Here is a WWII US Army Omega dial with a "little" bit of patina Anyone like this one? It will be available soon. It's cased in a steel #2179 with 30T2
I am trying to decide whether I like this dial patina enough to actually buy the watch. Hard to tell without a lot of experience if it adds or would be detrimental to value. What do you guys think?
Looks like a nice honest watch, not mint but it's actually one of the better examples that I've seen.
