I’m looking for a green faced bronzo. If anyone has one they want to let go of, PM me!

Have you checked the Sales section? If I remember correctly there was a Bronzo or two for sale.

Thanks koko105 - I washed the old patina off using a bronze cleaner, then just let it go naturally. I live 400 meters away from the Mediterranean sea....

Hi folks, this weekend I have had a real trouble with my bronzo (VSF 382) I noticed while having some beers with Friends that the Crown could be moved a bit as if the screws were not fully screwed so after five or ten minutes I missed the Crown and the screws… after looking for it a couple of minutes I found the Crown and one of the two screws… :-(

Sadly during its travel through the floor of the pub someone may had stomp the Crown and it has now many scratches … not broken but I had my watch in mint condition and want it in that way.

So I need at least one screw… and ideally a new Crown... anybody knows were I could buy those spare parts??? An VSF Crown and two screws?

Thank you for your help

Puretime has been selling part when you buy a watch from them. The only way I have been able to get any parts was when I bought a watch from the same factory. I recently lost the bezel on the Breitling Avenger GMT. When I ordered a Breitling SuperOcean they sold me the bezel I needed.

Thank you bro, do you know if Toro could sell spare pieces too? I Will try with Puretime. I am going to sell a couple of watches to get new stuff so buying one would not a be a problem. I want the new 438 all black and maybe some AP so it could be ok for me buying one watch with the spares included in the purchase.

I don't know about Toro. I have been buying all my watches from Lucy for the last 2 years. I discovered Puretime's policy on spare parts while reading their website.

Guys, I need some help. Is this patina or some weird discolouration? I got this PAM 671 ZF factory one from Andrew at trustytime. Is there something wrong with the CG?

Hey guys. Planning to go to the sea tomorrow and bring my 382 VSF. Do you think it's safe enough to take some easy bath with the watch on ?
