Have you heard the latest news about spider dials?

Apparently the more ruined and damaged a spider dial is it is now upgraded to: Super Spider Dial.

Lol, saw that. Never understood the attraction to these dials, but to each their own.

Amazing that these dials command a premium Maybe the spider paint on my deck will help with resale value

How about Spider cars, do they fetch more money? I have one in my garage that I can make into a Super Spider in about half hour. :)

I'm holding out for a Super DUPER Spider Dial.

Side question: If I have a watch that has been flooded, can I call it SUPER Tropical?

Unfortunately you probably can; if you look around you will see many corroded dials due to humidity infiltration selling as tropical ones.

Well, people like rat rods with rust clear coated. I just hope
Tudor subs with SUPER ZITTY DIALS become a thing

No patina though. Clearly a service replacement link.
