Pure lemon or mixed with water?!
Do you have a picture of it before the cleaning?! Just to see the level of the patina...

Very, very nice...when I saw the pics from Baselworld, the wife knew from the sounds I was making that purchases were to be made as soon as they hit the market!
Pure lemon bro, no water added. It had slight patina only actually.

Thank you!
I saw just once a bronzo with a lot of patina and after the cleaning it was far away of looking bright again.
I think that when this watch has a lot of patina, it make auch a corrosion that the bronze doesn't come back to it's original clean look.
Watchuwant posted a video of their bronzo on youtube after a cleaning with lemon and was not like new, check the pic below

Congratulations @Chico corleone for the watch
It looks amazing after using the lemon
Did you soak with the movement in the lemon juice or you took the movement out ? Was only lemon juice or mixture of lemon & water ? And how long did leave in the lemon ?
Please keep us posted with the patina it will develop gradually
Thank you!

Ah I see. Maybe you're right, if the patina are heavy it's really hard to restore it to brand new look. I guess deep longer in lemon? Or maybe try using peek [emoji23][emoji23]

My TD Lucy suggested I not use DHL because of the many seizures. In my day job we are shipping a lot of items via DHL from China to USA every week but I figured I better listen. I do hate the weeks it takes for EMS. When I am in China the shipments are same day or next day.
Yes, my TD typically uses SF-express when inside China. Next day delivery, on the dot.

The wax is clear so I couldn't take a picture.
I literally put one tiny dab on a microfibre cloth & it seemed to cover the full watch,However it is developing a patina so you might be right,
Time will tell fella,

I have had 6 maybe 7 watches sent from Hong Kong to U.K. by DHL in the past 6 months with no problems. Perhaps I've just been lucky. The latest one the 671 bronzo from QC pics to delivered in 5 day.

Looks good fella,
Are you happy with it & have you got anything planned for the patina ?

LOVE your Jack Russell !
I'll see how it goes, see if I like the patina as it develops deeper. If not clean it back up. After all that's what this threads for hey. Oh and I love the watch! [emoji106]

His character is one in a million. Named him Milo like off the film Mask. He's worth way more than any watch to me Though. [emoji190]
