Patina on a classic - Let's see what you have.

Slumming it over here. I can remove if the little kids aren’t allowed. Pretty even patina on this one.
*sorry to the OCD people for the bezel.

Hardly vintage and one of the youngest watches I have, can’t recall the year offhand but kept it because of the tritium colour ...and the condition!

Not sure if this qualifies as a patina or not... but it’s yellowed. It’s a ‘68...
