: Chuck,
: Great advice.
: It's a very nice feeling to wear a watch that
: shows the scars of its history - not to
: mention the fact that I don't have to worry
: about it as much on my wrist.
: Like you suggest, I plan to wear it for
: sometime before I do anything and in the end
: probably a new bezel at the most.
: I hope all is well -- Scott
Patina adds character! Don't fear it! Everyone would love to own a "square edged and frosty flats" minty example that looks like it was stored in a dealer's safe and forgotten for forty years. As we all know, those finds are few and far between. There is something added to a vintage piece with a little patina, what Jeff Stein has likened to the Japanese affinity with "Wabi"...
I think your new acquisition is just one of those things...
-- Chuck
