Hey Michael,

I too have only recently learned about the "Tropical Dial." From what I understand, it's when a vintage watch that has been extensively exposed to sunlight (and perhaps a little humidity, though I find that unlikely in an oyster case) turns deep brown, rather than the black it originally was.
