What I find interesting is, I’d have assumed Watch no2 & no4 had been helped along due to the blotchy look to no2 and the fact the blue is more faded than the red on no4. I guess most of the faded ones I see on instagram aren’t as often bleached as I thought if yours are all natural. |

Third pic from Springer is my favorite ; it really shows how differently the bezels have faded over the years. Impressive, very interesting also! It's like a very fine wine...

Was more thinking about similar ones I’ve seen on Instagram & people commenting they must be bleached. That’s why I asked if you knew for sure (ie owned them from new) as it would change my opinion on others I’ve seen. |
