So, regarding Tropical. I see that I do not agree with many of you regarding what tropic is. In my opinion, tropical is, as stated in the quote in the thread start, a black dial gone brown without being damaged. To me, damaged dials are just damaged, regardless of colour. A bright dials gone beige/yellow or something like that is just a patinated dial (and can look good, but not tropical). This guy writes a bit about tropical and the abuse of the word. http://rolexpassionreport.com/23316/the-commercial-abuse-of-the-vintage-rolex-term-tropical/ I think he is a bit too harsh maybe, but I totally agree that it is too abused by dealers and collections to push up values. A pic on the only watch I own that I consider tropical.
