    I was considering this "chocolate" dial speedy. It has seen better days, but it looks like the lume and dial aged a portly brown. The patina is a bit brackish and rustic, but perhaps that lovely toilet bowl ring is just on the crystal? Maybe it will come off with the right brush. Bidding is at $20. :rolleyes:

    It's almost like the dial is floating in a cup of coffee.
