As soon as it's nice and the patina is making the watch unique

Yep, but usually if it didn't fade back in the day they won't just start fading.

Never. Vintage doesn't mean it has to look old IMO.

Yes, I well and do pay more for the creamy patina I, don't much care for the orangish tones. The creamy tones add character and appeal that modern watches lack in my opinion.
