Beautiful watches gentlemen! Love patina 👍🏻

I actually wear this a lot, but I think she spent some time in the dark in the past.
Not quite yellow but more cream or tan. Lighting really changes the way the plots look in pics.
She's a 1966 5513 Gilt Bart that has all "original" parts.
Acquired a few months ago after a very long search. My birth year happens to be the same year as my favorite reference so this was really a watch I always wanted. Others may come and go, but this one will be with me for the rest of the journey.
I think the dial is strongest element on this watch.

My 1970 1675 has a little more subtle patina. Acquired this from our very own Springer. Thanks JP
