Gloss Dial Oxidized?

[Andrejb]

Hey guys. One of my watches from 91 has a million tiny little bubbles on the dial. Almost impossible to see without looking in the right light or with loupe. The dial markers have beautiful patina and is rather not replace it if I don’t have to. Was just wondering if it would get worse quickly? I found some photos of similarities. Tried to take a pic but wouldn’t work.

(This is not my watch, just a photo of the same oxidization pattern)




It’s almost identical to this. I’ve read it may be due to oxidization under the paint (apparently common with the early gloss dials)

It’s quite minuscule and I think it adds character. Just hoping that in 20 years the paint isn’t going to come off the watch completely lol

Thoughts?
