Chap!

What a superb looking watch, and as usual a set of pictures which raises the watch out of reality and into a work of art! Amazing :-)

I've seen or know of about 5 of these now, I think they were special order dials, so I imagine we are talking of a production run of the dial of 50-100 overall absolute maximum.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh, tropical may not be for everyone, but I love them and the growing amount of people hunting down such watches is a testament to many peoples love of "patina"!

: I think this one fits today’s theme quite well. I have seen one
: example of the Yachting Carrera before so it’s not a new
: discovery however the patina of the dial is unique. It started
: life with the standard metallic silver starburst finish but over
: time and I assume many hours in a hot and humid climate, it has
: turned to a deep shade of copper.
: It is a remarkable watch and one that certainly has no equal in my
: collection. Tropical dials are not everyone’s cup of tea but
: there is an inherent beauty in the consistency and the gamut of
: shades that the metallic surface throws out. The contrast with
: the blue markers is the cherry on top. Who could not love this
: 30mm diameter disc of beauty.
