Ridiculous price for dial that is absolutely destroyed. Patina? Really mate? Looks like watch this dial and hands came from spent a lot of time under the sea.

Put it in sunlight - see if it becomes "Tropical"

 

Mold... Oxidation... Patina...

 

Run it through the dishwasher - like new.

 

More that tropical will soon be called solarium dial... very rare...

 

That's the ever-elusive Seamaster "Barnacle".

 

No, no, a thousand times no!!!!!!!

It's beautiful and speaks to me of the hard life and many experiences that have contributed to it's weathered countenance. Such marks of age truly contribute to the soul of the watch from which it has been taken and with which it should be reunited as soon as possible. If you do not love this dial, you do not appreciate the beauty of true patina

or

It's fubar

You choose.

 

guys and gals, here's a refresher on patina

One mans 'beautiful patina' is another mans 'pile of s**t'.
However, a line needs to be drawn somewhere - creative descriptions are getting quite ridiculous.

 

The first time I see patina grow. You can probably watch it patina'ing

 

Is this even an authentic dial? Assuming it's supposed to be an SM300 with sword hands - there is no "300" on the dial, the indice digits are closed rather than open, and 'Swiss Made' is in the wrong place. So any faux patina is intended to distract buyers from noticing these otherwise obvious tells?

 

Hahahaha

 

Swiss made above the minute tracks certainly stopped me looking closer at the "patina".

 

It is a 'sea'master so maybe it spent some time in the sea

 

Barnacles = patina... you guys didn't know that?

The dial and hand are from the little-know Seamaster Spongebob edition.

 

This can be yours for a mere $3400 on eBay right now!
