I have heard that bronze case watches stink … literally …. Anyone notice odor from your bronze case watches? If so what brand ?

Bronze is a copper-based alloy. I don't have a bronze watch but I know what bronze smells like. It has a "coppery-metal" smell. If you have a jar full of copper coins (pennies if you are from the US) somewhere, open it and take a whiff. I would expect the watch to smell similar.

If you stick your nose on the watch you'll get a scent, but they don't smell strongly enough to be noticeable.

I have 5 bronze watches, all with nice patina, and not one smells.

The internet is a strange place.

Same here. I have two bronze watches, an Oris and a Tudor. No smell whatsoever.
