The Bronze patina effect

I like it

Thanks brother!

Looks great! Remember to rotate the bezel and screw/unscrew the crown regularly!

Beautiful. I was just going down that route myself, ie piecing together parts for construction. Very encouraging to see a nice aged example. Did you advance the patina with a particular treatment? Else how long ago did you build this?

Looks good, I need to get me a bronze watch!

Thanks for the reminder brother

I always play with the bezel and I hand wind the watch when I pick it up in rotation to make sure I’m moving the bronze parts.

Cheers 🥂

Completes the build June 5, 2022

I let it naturally she just by wearing it I got this patina so I wouldn’t rush it just let it do it thing is my advise and enjoy watching the transition you know wha I mean?

I had tons of fun putting it together though I remember the hands where more difficult then usual to get on but it was worth it.

Keep me in the loop when you build yours take picture before with the parts spread out and after and send them to me!

Good luck 👍🏾

Cheers 🥂

Thank you I appreciate you!

Go for it!

You won’t regret it there so fun. Send me a pic when you pull the trigger.

I look forward to see your pick.

Cheers 🥂

I've just orderred a bronze Tandorio Fleiger with a PT5000 I'm looking forward to watching it change. Yours is looking great - I wonder what will happen next?

I feel the same way very often on getting another watch. But I have also felt one bronze watch was more then enough for now.

Custom hands are fire 🔥 cathedral hand gang gang!

Yea that is really silly they didn’t include a bronze buckle. Thankfully mine did and I just transferred it to a strap I liked more. But honestly even if you left it no one would notice but I get it. I would know and that would be more the enough for me to go on a hunt.

Pictures look good but I bet the sun burst effect is even more dramatic in person

And yea silver hands? Na good move to change them.

I thought the case back is referring all stainless pertaining to just the case back to indicate you don’t have to worry about the bronze stain on your wrist.

Ohh and I love when the seconds hand goes all the way to the end of the dial. Idk I just feel it’s a very cool look.

Lume is on fleek glowing crazy like a night light.

You’ve done a stellar job here!

Your Watch maker so you probably noticed I destroyed the hands putting them on 🤣I used metal tweezers to hold them after getting frustrated with rodico

Lesson learned.

Cheers 🥂 brother

I was millimetres close to getting a bronze San Martin flieger. I really like bronze cases, the hue, the saturation, just amazing. Your looks fire, very, very tasteful.

brown is cool but green is just nasty and thats next. That alloy has an affinity to attract sulfur which is green and will stain your skin too.

I don’t mind the green stains that may come.

I don’t think I will get a stain on my skin because the back is stainless but if it does start staining me I might consider doing a bronze refresher. Or maybe I will like the green. Guess I’m nasty 🤣

What changed after coming so close to pulling the trigger on the bronze SM?

Thank you so much man

Means a lot.

I put my heart into it.

I’ll tell you a secret ..

I was inspired by the seiko Sarb017 but I missed the boat back when it was a reasonable price. At the same time I wanted bronze watch plus I was practicing modifying SO…I combined all three factors and taaadaaa!

Thank you for your reply!

I look forward from hearing from you in future post!

Cheers 🥂

Googled it lol

It’s a very nice pick!

Send me a pick when you get it!

Cheers 🥂

My Christopher Ward Aquitaine is my bit of bronze and I love the patina.

That’s a fantastic watch brother. Thank you for sharing it. Fifty fathoms vibe!
