14270 T<25 will they patina?
Hi guys,
I see some discussion on whether the Explorer 14270 with tritium dial (before 1998?) will patina or not. Are there already any examples of pieces that have? I'm curious to see how the patina combines with the numerics that don't have any tritium.. Thanks! |

If it’s tritium then it will Patina given time and conditions.

Typically, there's more patina the less light the tritium has been exposed to... safe queens are usually more patina'd than the daily wearers... This is just an observation, and seems to be a consensus on this forum, we have not conducted scientific experiments for veracity
