Thoughts on the patina of this vintage Seamaster. I kinda like it but wonder if it is too far past its time?

 

I bet that would look pretty ugly in real life.

 

If you like it, you like it. Everyone has a different opinion about what is appealing.

 

I vote for "damage".

I really !! like patina , at a flea-market e.g., I would not be tempted.

 

I like patina if it is uniform and a pleasant color. This one doesn't work for me.

 

Reminds me of moldy bread. Sure I can pick a spot or two off the crust if I'm hungry, but...

 

For the right price I would definitely say yes to that watch… I kinda like it to be honest

 

Damage, with a capital 'D'. But everyone's view around this subject is different. If you like it that is all that matters.

 

Is it being marketed as “Crème brûlée” patina? She’s toast. Fubar.
