Show us your patina
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!

My favorite kind of patina, naturally aged tritium paint.
Maybe it's both patina and dirt, but this little 70 years old fella looks amazing.
I buy patina in the large containers.

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...
