路Cheers All,
I wanted to gather some info and some opinions. I saw this speedy sell last year at Christies:
https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/...-white-gold-speedmaster-ref-31923000-13/32258
And I figured it was maybe a one-off that had some damage to the dial. Then just today I received my own white gold speedy after a hellish experience with UPS (I recommend Fedex).
And it has the same tropical dial. The watch is NOS, looks to never have been worn or taken off the original strap, still has some blue zappon on its ass. So I have to assume it happened naturally, and this appears to be a reoccurring phenomenon. Is this oxidation? Serial number at Christies was 213 and mine is 252. I'm curious about the other 498, if anyone out there has the same thing happening to the dial. It's a fairly cool effect in person.
