Although I collect mainly vintage watches I am not a fan of "patina" to be honest.
Mostly to me they just look like rotten old dials and I try to buy in as good condition as possible.
Of course this is not always possible at a boot sale!
Cheers,

Some say patina some say manky!
Either way I love this watch.
A few of mine, I like my watches to have a bit (don’t mind a lot sometimes) of wear.
As old as me, my 1972, sadly I haven't aged so well!

Some GMT 16750 patina here:

Arrived like this:
I call it 'the puck'
Some nice age on my Big Blue:
And on my 1000M

Foxy100 > that's more like.
I've been looking on Ebay for a beat up Omega or suchlike . Something that looks tatty but works fine.
In other words - something cheap
I bought this 1861 Navitimer largely because of the patina.
Was it really intended for airline pilots with poor eyesight?
Monnin cased Technos Sky Diver 200m:
This came with original tropic, box and outer box. Sold it, but I'm sad. However, luckily I have another with both boxes and papers and similar patina.
Some late 80s patina, with a bit of corrosion green on the pinion end of the hour hand for added interest
