New in! Bronzo Ploppy with some, um, idiosyncratic detailing…

Cheers P! I know - crazy huh? A very kind RWG member spotted it in a bazaar rep shop while on holiday and offered me first dibs when they got home.

Very interesting. Are they bronze? Congratulations! I've only ever seen gold PVD models with white dials that seem to be trying to replicate corresponding auction model made by 1/1.

But I haven't seen bronze yet. A very lucky find.

Ah, well that's interesting... and now you mention it, this does look quite golden. So it's not impossible it's a PVD coating. I'd not really given that any thought - as it's just a fantasy rep curiosity and the chap who picked it up at the holiday market had assumed it was bronze.

I think this is one of the few references that I came across:

In any case, it looks exotic, interesting, and I have never found many references to them, although I also did not often meet them on the local market, but either in poor condition or overpriced. In any case, you are lucky! Enjoy!

Eww... That's awful. XD

I don't think this one is trying to look gold - well, not like that one. I'll gather my bronzos together later on and see how it looks in amongst them. They're all upstairs and this has been downstairs on my watch modding table since it arrived, so there's been no direct comparisons yet.
