Each to their own I guess and I admit this can have some allure in certain collector's eyes but come on...

This dial isn't just baked, it's so overcooked that it might as well be mounted on a urn.

Jokes aside, I understand some find this appealing and that's probably why this custom/method of baking was invented. It's still makes my eyes bleed as I think what a beautiful pristine dial this could have been.

I don’t see that as beautiful, I see damage. I can take scuffs and dings on a case, lume changing colors naturally, dial color shifting from black to grey or brown- but this is just a fυcked up dial

Someone either thrown it in the fireplace or left it under the sea!

I remember when the Patrizzi Daytona's started shooting up in value, and people were trying all sorts of things to get the dial to turn...baking, uv lamps, cigar smoke, all sorts of ridiculous. Funny thing is that it was only a very limited run of S, W and possibly early T serials that used a varnish that degraded over time. Any other serial numbers had the issue corrected. It would be funnier if this wasn't a correct serial number and would teach the baker a valuable lesson in deception not paying off...

No one should find artificial patina to the point of getting roasted as appealing. 🙁
