Wrong - look at the logo on the dial - youre supposed to say "Wow. That's gorgeous patina".

[Tony-GB]

I love when this gets cleaned.

Dial? Is there a dial under there?

That's what I like to see, a well loved watch, one worn by a man who defies convention.

Way to go Jocke!

This is your welding watch, isn't it, Jocke?

I'm pretty sure it is, think Jocke did a "clean up" thread on this once before, its fantastic!

[doug darter]

It is the 'welding' watch:

Yeah! My thoughts exactly! I think he should leave it as it is (OK clean some muck off) - people say they like (genuine) patina!

Having said all that, a new xtal and a good clean will have it looking ticketty boo. I bed the dial is near perfect under all that crap. Jocke is a pragmatist, he wouldn't let a watch lose too much value!

Once you clean it, preserve the muck. And put it on SC.
Tactical muck is fetching great prices these days on SC.

Maybe I should save it in jars to my survivors. The prices rises with when going out of style.

Ah, but won't it lose its value if it hasn't got its context??? And what about the increasing supplies of fake muck that I keep hearing? How can you tell proper muck from fake stuff???
