    is this fixable?

    can the patina/stain be easily removed from this watch face? apparently it is very common with this model. I know a lot of people now like this sort of thing, but on this particular watch I don't.

    I would say yes but by a professional. Not sure if it would be in a ultrasonic cleaner or by hand tho.

    Lambs, I think someone was looking for you on another thread.

    I would say there’s very little chance of rectifying this, contrary to popular myth very few dials can be cleaned up, I’ve tried many times.

    I would never never buy a watch like this if I was looking to sell on for a profit, if you’ve already bought it you’ve made a mistake.....you live and learn.

    Like perhaps he was about to give his version of events?

    If that is meant to be insulting it failed miserably because you were too oblique. if you have something to say, say it.

    Just an observation that you have to label some of your watches as 'real'.....

    All that trouble? It was no trouble

    I was bored of seeing Real Madrid losing... I never said you were evil or scum or own replica watches. Those are your words.

    you think you are a vigilante fighting for justice against an evil profiteer and the best you can come up with is that some of my real watches are labelled "real" dear god.

    Some stains are impossible to remove and I think this will prove to be one of them

    Surely there can’t be any remaining juvenile-sheep-related references that haven’t already been referenced on the other thread..?

    Maybe I’m wrong though...

    I'd go out on a lamb and say that sheep has sailed long time ago.

    Yes, it's fixable, at a price. Unlike the OP's reputation!

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
