I'm struck in many older watch photos that what some collectors and sellers describe as 'patina' looks, to my 3 decade-plus military eye, as incompetent/neglectful equipment husbandry ... and a big fail.
An example, 'patina' or utterly ruined and in need of overhaul?
In a military context, I would be quite judgemental about the professionalism of someone wearing a watch in that state. In a civvy context, I'm just left wondering- why?
