Bronzo watch thread
- Thread starter koko105
- Start date
I think you guys are brave to actually submerse your Bronzo in lemon juice or whatever. when I want to clean the patina off... I take a bit of ketchup in a dish and dip a q tip in it and rub the watch with it.... doing only parts of it at a time. when the ketchup has done its work.... i rinse it off with a damp towel .... then start on the next section of the watch. it takes more time to use the ketchup as a rubbing compound.... but it works well and I feel better about not soaking the watch in anything acidic.
i don't know why..... it just makes me uneasy. I like the control of having the ketchup on the q tip and just making sure it just goes where i want it to.
i don't mind spending time working on the watch.... it's fun to see the beautiful luster of the bronze come back up as I'm working on it.
ketchup works well too for taking out any black marks on the bronze.

Are other brands allowed too? This is the father of Bronzo: Anonimo Firenze

Not bronze but brass.. toothpaste works magic on this one.
Looks so clean to me but i don't know if toothpaste will work with bronze or not
Did any one here tried toothpaste to clean bronze
I have, but only gel toothpaste as some toothpaste have granules that I would not want to possibly scratch the metal. They're not hard, but I don't want to risk it. It does give the watch a minty smell. :lmao:
Apart from the smell [emoji1] mysterio does the gel toothpaste remove the patina and clean the watch like the watch in the photo
Yes, from my experience. However, I used it after I did the lemon/water bath, just to remove any harder stains that weren't removed by immersion in the solution.
I'm so fond of this combo!

Have you used it? Because the case is essentially brushed. It should not be "polished" as that will remove the characteristic brushing. This is an example of a Bronzo that was polished using Cape Cod.
That is not even the most extreme polishing I've seen. But I cannot recover anymore the photo of the gen bronzo that was polished to a mirror finish by its overeager owner.

No I haven't. The reference of jewelers rouge was just a example to how T cut is made up in a similar way. T cut is obviously a lot finer as it is basically used to take the build up of grime and dirt off the paintwork back to reveal the original paintwork. Or for over overspray on a repair, or a re-spray job. Any excessive rubbing with even just a cloth will eventually wear a brushed finish to a smooth finish over time so common sense should tell you always to use caution. So I get where your coming from with over some eager ppl that rush into things without thinking it through.
