BR 03-92 Diver bronze?

[Fridge_Magnets]

I'm wondering how the case screws (dial side) age. I see they are very shiny in some posts. This makes me think they might not be bronze. So: do they form patina ?

Not the greatest photos but I have had this for just on 12 months. The screws look to age at the same rate as the case.

Ah i do love me a good bronze watch. I would be tempted to force the patina though.

Yeah, indeed they do. Definitely bronze.
But is this the WMF version?

From memory, yes - the only option at that time.

for bronze lover
until i get this B&R, i was really in love with PAM382 design, kind of steampunk
now with this B&R, i find this model more balanced dial, perfect size for my wrist (PAM feel now quite too big and too much green "empty space"

by the way, how do you remove strap on BR03??

PS. i've put my watch near a bowl of vinegar+salt for a full night = all green
but this patina doesnt stay : how it is possible to fix it?

Just use the supplied allen wrenches to remove both hex screws on either side of the lugs. It's a removable bar. (See previous posts also)

About the patina.... Idk. Should stay on. Maybe try again? The green thick spots that appear when you use salt indeed come off. Because is piles up on the patina, not the case itself.

This would be very tempting with the matching date wheel...shame.
398 USD...

The “rubber” piece on my crown is starting to disintegrate. Wondering where I can get a new one

My BR03 crown rubber is also in need of repair / replacement. When I go to spin the crown, the rubber spins instead. Has anyone found a solution to this? Google is remarkably useless for this, as it consistently points to sending the watch in to BR for repair.

Superglue. I had the same problem and glued the rubber ring to the crown. So far so good.

I did the same thing but not a long term fix it’s still breaking apart and loose. Hoping to figure out where to source a new crow guard and silicone piece
