What is the kind of patina which drives you crazy on a Sub?

Off white?



Eggshell ( with some red accents... )



Or without any red accents



Burnt Vanillia:



Or... " Racing British Green " ?



Diifficult choice, isn't it?

Looking forward to hear your opinions...

Nicolas

I like that nice Vintage Patina...

I guess that this is why we love so much our Vintage Rollies.

The GMT is to die for!



Best, my friend.

Nicolas

Even the bee(s) cannot resist ! Love your collection Nic, but I think you're missing some GMTs? Best to you my dear friend.

All was in the title and about Subs...



But if you want to speak about patined GMTs... I'm your man!



Gorgeous Red Sub!

Best, my good friend.

Nicolas

...good question..depends on the party and my mood... I like them all

But on a normal day, the ones with vanilla to yellowish egglike patina...no offwhite...no...

But great pictures my friend

Cheers
Hans

And is white:



This is a keeper because:

a) I like the patina
b) It seems all original (but the bracelet)
c) The movement is unbelievable precise (0s/day)

Cheers,

Nilo

I love it!

Fantastic patina, great character, and more important ...This is YOUR watch!

Nice, superb choice, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas

..if we had been old enough or had enough foresight to buy one (and kept it in the dark until now) in the day. But you know that never would have happened LOL. prefer the original patina on vintages (vs relume), though if Ii had an original that had been kept from light and retained the original color, you bet I'd be wearing that bad boy all day long today!
