I too was reluctant to purchase it only because it wasn't brand new, possibly bee tried on by others, and my patina process had already began (it was still light but it had already been under lights so it started to patina). Against my better judgement I still purchased it because i wanted a Mono piece in my growing collection. I wanted to increase my patina process though, so I would let my piece sun bath for a minimum of an 1 hour a day. I used my piece a lot and it was always handheld went in use. I've cleaned my piece many a times and that's how my hands are remaining. I love it! Sorry! it's aging very well in my eyes. Seeing it in real life would probably be pics than my crappy pics. I'm not interested on my piece looking like anyone else's I.e brand new, lightly patina'd. I want it darker and its the oils from my various lotions, colognes, etc. I'm also a Guy so that could be a factor as far as Look. I clean my pieces as often as I can but, I'm very pleased with the look of my piece. If your the type to constantly worry about a darker patina or something of that sort I just recommend you monitor your piece and nurse it through its patina stages. Hope that's helps.
I love the patina on your speedy b. I think that the speedy is one of the best looking styles when it reaches its darkest patina. I've seen a couple of people walking around the mall with those aged beauties and it makes me question why i got the DE print hihi 😊 I still love her though
