I picked up this lovely 1940s Heuer big eyes Chronograph.
There is a fine line between patina and something being in poor condition. But in this case I think it’s got a handsome look.
So why not let’s share our patina’d watches for others to ogle.. Go!

Maybe it's both patina and dirt, but this little 70 years old fella looks amazing.
I buy patina in the large containers.

Beautiful watch!

That top one looks like the sun! Very nice effect.
Beautiful watch!
Thank you 😊
My Oris military watch
The fact that it is a really, really lovely chronograph puts the (heavy) patina in the background. Still, if it were mine, I'd try to gently refurbish the dial.
A few wee speckles at age 83

Thanks! Yeah it looks pretty special!
I generally avoid patina unless the watch is something special or really calls to me. I prefer very much to have NOS, if possible.
However, I do have a few in the collection. Here are some such as they are...

Oh and any thoughts on the Heuer purely from a Chronograph perspective?

Thanks for asking...I love Heuers especially the vintage references. Yours looks like a 34mm or 35mm from the photo. Those are a bit small for my wrist, but are historic chronographs.
Depending on your wrist size, you can bulk it up by putting it on a bund strap. Old school Newman style.
Congrats on such a great piece in your collection.
