If you are basing your opinion on the bubbled nature of the paint on the dial, you may be wrong. From what I've read on line, the original dials had paint that was prone to bubbling, without the catalyst of moisture. It is likely that instead of moisture that caused the "patina".
No, I`m not talking about the bubbles under the paint, that are caused by added blue pigment to make the dial darker x chemical reaction with the metal dial surface. I`m talking about the black stained tritium markers, which a sign of moist.
