    Hi all!
    This may be blasphemy in a forum with such incredible time pieces.
    Some may argue that these are just ruined dials, but others love them. Im with the latter :)
    I think there is somthing charming with a dial that shows traces of everyday use for 40-60 years.
    As not everbody likes these watches its also easier to find them for a more than fair price :)
    What do you guys think?

    I always feel more comfortable buying a watch that has some patina. Here are a couple of mine:

    1976 Speedy 145.022 before and after new hesalite (cracked) and routine service (with original dial and bezel, tritium hands might be from an ancient Omega service by the previous owner).
