As they used to say, "Don't touch that dial!" Looks cool.

A particular family member leaves his watch on the window sill.. and then he left his datejust unworn for 6 months on the window sill.. sure enough the appearance of the watch changed after that.. along with the omegas, seikos, and citizens. I'm speechless.

Even the hands and orange markers have turned a bit. No way would I change that. If it is natural as you say then it's a unique personal touch! Leaving watches in the window I can't abide.

No Lee. That makes it a Sun Dial.

Give your dad yours too. He could "age" it in a few years too. Patina gives charm to these watches :)

Leave it as is unless it’s not working. A story behind a Rolex is always the best way to go.

Unpopular answer looking at the replies, but I'd want that changed.
The jet black stands out so much more. The faded one looks exactly that, faded and dull. Personal opinion only of course!

I was under the impression that these had matte dials to begin with? Or does it start out more of a satin?
