Anyone seen online? obviously the watch is too new for this to happen naturally, but I do wonder as they are aluminum inserts. If anyone has done it with chemicals to get the look, and has a picture that would be cool to see. Anyone know how long it takes naturally and the conditions. Black bay black with a ghost bezel would be pretty amazing. I think this watch will look better with age even tho I baby the hell out mine lol

Mine is first-year production, 2012; still looks as good as new. Normal use around the world.

Just leave it outside in the sun on a tar roof everyday for a year, or wear normally for forty years.

Thanks Adam for the real world testing i wear my often but I think they fixed the fading problem at rolex so we are out of luck for awhile I think. Anyone use chemicals yet?

Any updates on this? And does anyone think the black bay steel is nod to the ghost bezel as bulang and sons said in their article could be if so I think that great that tudor Swedes the ghost bezel as important part of collecting vintage watches and putting that idea into a new watch.
