that's actually not patina Simon but corrosion due to condensation and age....with todays technology all that has to be done to duplicate that dial is to take a pic and feed it into a 3M machine and out comes a one sided adhesive duplicate that is then applied to the cleaned and refinished dial...I would remove that Enicar beads of rice bracelet which may be worth more to a collector than the watch in it's present condition and has nothing to do with Longines although a very collectible brand in it's own right and pick up a Longines strap...have the movement tuned up along with a quick polish to bring back the the lustre of the blued hands and some of the finish of the case....all in all you will have a nice watch but again the only value that is important is the sentimental value it has for you hand6.gif
