Call it patina, tropical, or damage, I don't care. But what matters to me is that it is consistent over the entire dial. The one from the OP is different, maybe even unique. I like it.
I have a very low tolerance for dial damage. This one is so crazy and consistent across the whole dial it almost looks like it was meant to be. Looks like a sponge. I’d like to seen it in person in some natural light.
Amazing : still wondering whether I love it or hate it !! The point really as stated before is if it will remain stable at this stage of progression.
Also worth checking how the back of the dial looks like.
