. . . reminds me of an orange dreamsicle ice cream bar . . . or . . .

. . . leave it in the sun a little longer and maybe it turns into a rare silver no text . . . or

Oh the stories that watch could tell.

How the end links are fitted is precious . . . they must have melted in the sun . . .

I hear it "Looks nice with every outfit ."

Are you bidding on it, Kyle?

Lucky for you I'm not partial to spotted dials, yellow or otherwise. Good luck, Kyle

Looks like it was left in the sun for about 20 years.

 

[Time Seller]

Looks a little like a barbecue marshmallow.
I think putting a dial in a hot frying pan for 30 seconds could generate a similar effect. But...who wants something that looks like that?
Art for art's sake?

 

[Reflex]

Is it silver turning gold or vice versa?

A little bit more damage would look better I think, I am reminded of this watch from a member here, 20+ years on the Great Barrier Reef, I like the look of this watch btw

To think I almost passed on this one, because of the few dark patina spots:

Now I think they add some character.

I owned the above at one time some years ago, the ageing gave it character

Speaking of distressed dials, here is my 6138 panda. Their dials are notorious for turning tropical.

slap a new crystal on there, call it good!

Is it yours?

Is it yours?

Unfortunately the day the auction closed the Sun was scorching hot and I was suffering from heat exhaustion and I missed the auction end. I really wanted the two tone, soon to be silver Pogue and had a beautiful two tone silver and gold bracelet all picked out and ready for the watch. Oh well I quess I can't get all the good ones.

$286 USD hammer these days isn’t bad for an early 6005 just for the parts alone, including the early non tapered bracelet I suppose.

Sucks you missed scoring this one, Kyle

Speaking of prices these days, did you see this 6005’s hammer price???!!!

Thanks for sharing . . . Yikes . . . looks like a good honest True Pogue but IMO big $$$ for needing so much . . . watch needs a complete overhaul . . . new crystal, new gaskets, new bracelet, and movement service . . . . Yikes . . . where is this going . . .

How much is this one worth
