when black turns to brown . . .
In Response To: Re: Orange Boy became a Yellow Boy ()

when black turns to brown, the Rolex guys call them "tropical" and the Omega guys call them "chocolate", or maybe vice versa, but I just call it natural aging and admire these watches all the more!!

I am very happy with the one shown below, my entry in the "mottled" category!!

Viva La Wabi ! ! !
