... how many years (or months) do you think I would have to enjoy a light patina? I love the med honey patina too, but do not like the super dark and dirty patina. I am keeping in mind that I can always replace the handles, but wouldn't want to do that until maybe 10 years. Do you think that the honey color can be maintained for 10+ years under "normal" circumstance, or will it change way faster than that?
My bucket is 8+ years old and still honey, but it is a shoulder bag, so I am wondering since speedies are handheld, would that speed up the darkening?
I have seen lots of beautiful honey patina'd speedies on ebay and always wonder how old those are. Yet, I am seen azurs with black patina (and they can't be more than 2 years old since azurs only been out for about 2 years.
I want to use my speedy daily but fear the black patina within only few years. So, for those of you who use your speedy almost daily, and have had for a few years... is your patina black or is it still honey? TIA
