·I've been looking at buying a vintage Speedmaster pro and have noticed a couple things regarding the patina on the hour markers and hands that I'm hoping to get explanations for.
1) Occasiinally I notice uneven patina on the hour markers where they are more white on the top portion towards the center of the dial and then become patina as it moves towards the bezel. Is that typical or a sign of a dial that has been tampered with? This is on both the stepped dial and non stepped.
2) I'm also seeing some tritium hands that appear to have a dark grey color as opposed to patina. Is that normal as well?
Thank you!
