Since you guys seem to like this fine patina so much (and since someone revived this thread), I thought I'd add a few better pictures.

Pete and Shark:

Re-read your comment - the darker strap is the dark brown croc. The new strap is the "gold" croc strap. The comparison was intended only to show the dirt on the dark strap's stitching.

Thanks.

At any rate, I agree with the comments above that it looks really good as is. As a matter of fact, I'm trying to get a similar patina on mine.



First cold press extra virgin olive oil is a good place to start.

Sharkman - red arm hair apparently works even better than olive oil.

Thanks guys. And to think - when I started this thread I was thinking of getting it "fixed" or going to a steel bracelet. I now have a new appreciation for this piece. Glad I posted it. Thanks again.

With all that said, I'd still love to know how it happened. Oh well.

I Guess you would have figured it out if your winder was in a place that had direct sunlight on it, Right?

No direct sunlight on the watch except when on the wrist.
