Patina on a classic - Let's see what you have.
Do you have one of the classics with dial patina? Let's see some photos of what you have - those classic tritium dials with some wonderful patina.
I'll start it off with a classic Submariner 16610.

Clearly, the key word here is 'classic' Nomenclature Horologicus Nuttercus Guys - nice though all these submissions are, I think the intended niche was 80s/90s Tritium gloss WG-surrounds dials. With patina. Classic.

A 1998 classic 16520 with a nice creamy patina that contrasts nicely against the white dial.

Thanks for the responses everyone.
The classics for me are the later tritium watches, not yet considered vintage by most collectors but still capable of producing a nice patina on the dial. Most examples would fall into the category of a model with a sapphire crystal with glossy dial such as a Submariner 16610 and 14060, GMT II 16710 and GMT 16700, Explorer and Explorer II 16570, Daytona 16520 Datejusts etc etc. Below is a Submariner 14060 with full patina.
