San Ranger Spud-u-Like today. I confess I feel a little bit dirty wearing it and each time I put it on, the watch gods kick a puppy.

Re: Strange patina

No snickers at the back and back on topic. Not wanting to be unKinder but I don't think this is Swiss, Guylian. It'll nestlé in with the rest of your collection just fine. Don't think it's patina, maybe a little Lindt. Right up my quality street.
