A labor of love to track down these beauty's
The opportunities arise when you are at the right place at the right time and the collector in front of you is making a move from one piece to another. And that is how we get lucky.
The funny thing is that we have almost the same insert.
Especially the way the red faded.

Not all browns are created equal
There are so many shades of brown. Light brown. Caramel type brown. Dark brown to almost black. Chocolate brown like yours. I think your brown shade is the most beautiful of all. It really contrasts the best with the white writing. This is the brown that is really the most striking. Beautiful watch and the perfect place to enjoy it - in the sun.

Superbly nice chocolate dial Bill...
You sure have a super neat collection of vintage Rollies
BTW Bill, think I might have asked this in the other thread before. Any idea how come some tropical dials faded to a smooth-face brown coloured dial like yours whilst others looks like road tar brown, looks uneven on the surface? I have a pic stored somewhere of the latter and hopefully can post it soon....

Color change vs tropical.
Tropical is a generic term to describe a wide range of dial changes from what could be termed damaged through road tar up to a pristine dials that have even color. It is almost like diamond grading as the quality goes up so does the price. I use the term color change when describing a pristine dial that has color ranging from dark chocolate to caramel. Tropical dials for me describe the more exotic range in more generic terms. It's like crackled dial vs crazed. The crackle dial sometimes called spider is a dial that has cracks all over the dial. I don't like the term spider dial because it is pitched as more expensive, as if rare, to charge more money. When it comes to crazed dial they are like tropical at the lower end you have damaged dial with lacquer peeling of up to dial who's crazing need to be viewed with a loop that is the high end.
Just my personal observations.
