Ho..ho..horology ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿฝ

I bought this BB 58 bronze boutique edition at the beginning of October and since then it literally never leaves my wrist. During this time, I kept asking myself when the fascination for an almost rudimentary diver's watch design would become part of my everyday life.

Hence the question in the round:

How long is the average honeymoon phase?

And btw: Have a happy and peaceful Christmas ๐ŸŽ„

This year (which was a blockbuster year for watches for me) the honeymoon phase was around a month. But I rotate between a lot of watches so each one doesn't get a lot of back to back wrist time. So each time I come back to a piece it still feels new.

This is a fantastic piece one of my most favouritesโ€ฆ!! enjoy it and keep on ticking โ€ฆโญ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฏโฑ๏ธ

Honeymoon faze is around 15 minutes. Buyers remorse is around the same but is usually replaced with the what to buy next faze.

Stunning, stunning piece for sure! ๐Ÿ‘

My santos. Usually every few weeks I strap it on and I always say to myself. Wow! I love this watch!

Beautiful! How is it going with patina and any wrist coloration since you've been wearing it as a daily?

The 3-6-9 of the Black Bay Bronzeโ€™s looks so good. If the bronze case and brown dial didnโ€™t just about match my skin tone, I may have bought that same watch when I tried it on.

Congrats!

Love the Bronze, it will patina wonderfully over time.

Had a look at one with AD, it's a really nice watch.

I actually expect it to be more intense. Mine just got noticeable darker. There isnโ€™t a green hue like with other bronze watches because of the alloy Tudor is using. The gold just settled beautifully.

To test the wrist colouration I even wore it constantly during the night. If there was anything noticeable then a slight shadow which got right away

You fighting off the patina or is this an old pic?
