Original but patinated.

Not usually a fan of these “tropical” (aka damaged) dials but this is kinda cool

If you’re interested make sure you see it in person or at least view a lot of photos under varying lighting conditions.
This strikes me as a dial that could look attractive with sympathetic lighting, but damaged and ugly in other conditions

It's original IMO, but too far gone. That's not patina. That's a badly damaged dial.

Yes, original but damaged. Everyone won't agree with me but I think it looks really good on these pictures.
If it looks that good in real life, that's something I could definitely wear. Ask for a video showing the dial in different light conditions and angles.

The dial is homogeneous aged: no stains, no cracks.
I vote for "true vintage " 👍👍👍

Almost there, either needs a bit more time or touch of a skillful hand.

Here on OF, we call that “Kyletina”.

That dial looks very unique and interesting to me. Hopefully, it is stable.

I must admit it has a little too much patina, even for me 😁

But if you like it, go for it! Looks original.

I like it 👍 The crackling lacquer effect is relatively even across the dial, and the caramel color is consistent and harmonizes with the markers, hands, and case. But, as @Dan S points out, hopefully that flaking lacquer is stable. That dial could go from awesome to awful quickly.

Halfway there.

But when you already own more than 100 with nice dials, you start to collect this kind of kyletina. I believe.
