...but some patina looks like damage. In the case of dive watches, it looks like water got into the cases. Not sure how this dial got this way. If it were my watch I would love it, but I'd wonder if the manufacturer were using defective materials...

This reference is magic, and a bit mysterious as it is a kind of transitional one, between the CK 2998 and the ST 105 003. Made only during one year or two. Rarer than any other CK, being 2915 or 2998. Add a nice patina, like this one, and you have someth...

If you blow up the photo it looks as if the markers melted. Perhaps they’ve all fallen off and we are looking at the glue remains, but that seems less likely
