It makes perfect sense why he is calling this tropical. He ate tropical fruit and then pooped on the dial...

Interestingly, if you look really close at the dial you'll see that the 12' triangle lume is over the gilt 6 print and the 6' rectangular marker is over the gilt triangle. And the caseback is a II.67 - which would be a 7928/0

Dude, really? You think I looked at that piece for more than the one second it took me to make my comments?
