Anyone else like faded bezels on a 16710?

Faded bezels suggest that the watch has been well worn by the owner. It conjures up images of many miles traveled or many seas explored.

Buying an "aged" bezel to convey that impression?

Such a great reference with so many options... new/faded/colors!

Will someone take me out of my misery and post a pic of the grand slam... 16170 with a faded bezel, and rich patina tritium dial, on a jubilee bracelet!

No, I want a new bezel sans fading.
