hello everyone.

I love the yellow patina.

and I'll have a question.

do you think, when the yellow patina is very strong )

the patina is natural or as some people say

the dial has been repainted or relum or redone

It could definitely be original or possibly altered by an unscrupulous seller that has figured out a way to tint or replace the lume with a darker color.

As long as this thread is active again, here is GMT from 1968. One of my favorites!
