i usually prefer a creamy white patina and not yellow but this watch looks absolutley awesome with it. Just goes well with the grey nato. Congrats

I'm a day late, but I've got this and a hairy arm!:



I like how something on the batons, or the glue that attached them, has reacted with face and created a little bloom around each one.

Arsen, that GMT has some very nice yellow patina going on with that dial. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
