Aging A Genuine 1680 Rolex Dial

I have a Genunie 1680 Dial Thanks to Edge. I was wondering if leaving it under the sun for weeks will age the dial.

thanks

I hear that bird poop leaves a nice patina

I hear that too but I do not think I want to do that on a Genuine Dial

leaving it under the sun for weeks

... is a near 100% guarantee of bird-mods in my town.

You're much safer with a bright UV light (indoors).

It will take years in the sun to get the same aging on the lume as a week in direct artificial UV.

putting it in the oven will age it!

Or, you can just leave it be and let it age on it's own, gracefully

cib, why age a gen dial? As I recall, that was one near perfect dial which is not an easy find.

The bigger question is are you up to cropping the dial feet? I would have a very difficult time altering such a rare and near perfect dial. Gen movement in the works?

That is the dilema, I am looking for a 1575 Movement they are very difficult to find. I gues I will let the Dial alone and see if I can get my hands on a movement.

Thanks
