Well, I was browsing through some "bargain" brands and happened upon this Benrus. Dial is pretty great, if patina is your thing. But is it too good? I guess I'd be surprised if someone was faking patina on a watch like this...any thoughts?

Patina is probably legit. Tropicalized and the radium has done a number on it. I'd be more concerned about the condition of the case.

I highly doubt that anyone might go to the trouble of faking patina on a watch that is intrinsically of relatively low value. The dial is almost certainly original.
