Barn find -- Tropical 73463 *PIC*

Here are two pics of my fortunate find today while taking a long lunch break.

The watch has patina, with the black subdials now a mocha/caramel brown and the orange accents now a yellow that reminds me of the aging hand in a Rolex 1655. The two views in different light highlight the reflective nature of the silver dial.

The crystal needs a polish, but I like the honest worn look of the watch.
