On a bring a loupe page this week this insane Ed White showed up:

I don't think i ever seen anything crazier than this when we talk about Ed white

 

More like Ed Brown, AMIRITE?

 

LOL

I think there is an additional thread as well...

 

It's not an Ed White... it was worn by Icarus , looks like its dial & bezel burnt together with his wax wings as he was flying too close to the Sun !

 

Shameful that the Dink would allow this admittedly altered watch on their column

 

The value of the watch is in the dial, which for an Ed White is pretty incredible.

mad long is disclosed I have no problem with that

 

I doubt the brownish color is natural

 

Dial ?

 

The bezel is a service one for me it’ sa bit ackward that it’s colour is the same as the dial . Both dial and bezel are to close in colour with the same brown fading to be true.
Maybe i am totaly wrong but it will be interesting to do an x-ray image of the watch or carbon-14 dating to explore the different layers of the dial materials.

William it seems is not a fan of this.

 

It is stated in the listing that the bazel has been chemicallly altered.
That dial is too perfect to be faked and i haven't seen any fake tropical dial that is close to be like a good one.

 

Seems that the photograph from the previous seller change (at least partially) his opinion on pots and dial...

 

Why would the seller change the hands before putting it for sale?

 

for posterity, the first one.
