If you are a long time follower of our listings, you know that we are big fans of great tropical dials. The current example features a richly toned, warm hues. Some tropical dials are subtle, with just a hint of agining, while some are dark and perhaps show some deterioration to the dial surface. Others have just the right amount of color change, are evenly toned with perhaps a blending of yellows, tans, orange, and ochre. Such is the current example, quite beautiful to behold, and with some “freckles” to boot!
