Wrestled this beauty away from @ConElPueblo
Not sure how he parted with it, but sure glad he did because for a patina lover like me this dial is PERFECTION!

Paired with a sweet fat logo period correct buckle from @omegastar and we’re talking wrist nirvana.

Check out the impromptu photo shoot: goes from copper/bronze to rose gold to burnt orange. Time has created a true one off original piece of artwork. We should all be so lucky to age so gracefully.

This is the Paul Newman of dials. Full stop.

 

Nice catch! I'm generally not a fan of "tropical" dials but the even patina on this one gives it some really nice character.

 

Wrist nirvana, indeed!

 

A picture speaks a thousand words, so here's a 3000 wordessay on the best patina I've ever owned / seen:

 

First post in WRUW Today - must be good.

 

Both are beautiful watches. It´s all about the patina.

 

A beauty as well. It’s a patina off!

 

fantastic watches, thanks for sharing

 

Love it, fantastic watch, the colour is perfect!!

 

A real stunner. Wear in good health.

 

Beautiful watch ! I like patina too on my chronometer. What a shame: no wrist shot yet.

 

Wonderful!! It's examples like these that almost convince me to start expanding my horizons outside of speedies. Almost.

 

Thanks for all the kind comments. Just wish patina perfection was running half as good as it looks...
