I just picked up a Czechoslovakian Prim from the 60s, and has a lovely patina all over on what looks like a linen dial. It's nice to hear a little bit more about the patina and where it actually comes from.

Real patina is great and adds to the sort of romance of a vintage watch, musical instrument, book, car, etc. The point at which patina becomes damage is subjective. Faux patina is trendy but almost always falls short of looking "right."

Iam absolutely with you! There’s a big aesthetic gap between patina and faux patina

Patina on a watch, eventhough many says that it still a damage, but I think it tells more story, it shows more character and it feels more meaningful for its age. I don't say that a nice and good-looking finish dial is not prefer but c'mon guys, even our grandmothers and grandfathers has their wrinkles but we really still care and love them ❤️ Kudos #Horologists and #Hobbyist 🥂🥂🥂

I understand the appeal of "patina" but I don't personally care for it. If restored items sell for less now then that works for me! For me patina translates to "I can't afford to get this repainted". ;) Admittedly I understand it more with something like a vintage watch than an automobile.

@GoldammerVintageWatches Жыл бұрын

Haha that’s totally okay :D I also have no problem with watches being lightly refurbished as long as the original condition is maintained. I have a preference for pieces that are left completely in original condition with lots of patina, but I also have a preference for watches that are a few decades old and look like they just came from the factory. Tastes are different and that's a good thing :D

Hi Felix, I just bought a very nice vintage Omega Constellation a few days ago with - dare I say - an even nicer patina than what you are wearing in your video. The problem is that : For the past few weeks, I've been concerned, as I've been seeing more and more watches with beautiful patinas or "that look like real patinas, but I feel like many are fake and man-made." (artifact)?... Maybe it would be wise to make a video dedicated to "false patinas" because I'm sure there are more and more of them since collectors appreciate them!..

@GoldammerVintageWatches Жыл бұрын

Cheers Sam, first of all congrats to your new wrist buddy!! It is not easy to tell from pictures if the patina has been touched up. But with a magnifying glass this is no problem. Personally, I have never seen a watch with false patina. I also don't think it's worth it to artificially rework a watch, simply for the reason that theirs are traded higher in better condition. No matter if it is a beautiful and even patina. Nevertheless, thank you for the video idea, I will deal a little more with the subject!

But they're not in their original condition! They didn't originally come with any patina. 4:27 Why anyone would buy or wear a watch in that state is beyond me. And that's from a big vintage Omega fan.

@GoldammerVintageWatches Жыл бұрын

The watches shown are all in original condition, only aged. Many collectors appreciate patina on their pieces because the different types of aging make them unique. A watch from factory looks like any other, however, I also appreciate a watch in top condition without patina. As described in the video, the beauty in it is in the eye of the beholder. For me, it's perfectly fine that you don't like aged watches, but you also have to accept that there are people who look for and enjoy exactly that :D

@Eza_yuta Жыл бұрын

@@GoldammerVintageWatches Maybe what he meant of not in original condition, the watch originally not had any patina. Thus the patina changed the "original" watch appearance.

In the classic car world it's referred to as a 'survivor'...ie. it has lasted all these years without being messed about with. Originality is honesty, you can see it's history. Hey if we all liked the same thing the world would be pretty boring

Absolutely agree. I would never clean a watch dial, as long as the patina appears in an even way. It ads so much more character
