Watch you don't turn that brushed metal into a smooth metal finish with all that polishing my friend. Otherwise you'll end up with a bronze 47mm version of the Pam 024C! [emoji6][emoji23]

@Sparky28, It also seems to have gone more of a brassy/gold colour and lost all of its copper tones. Having that slightly darker copper tone in it is what I like about the watch.

Ha ha I know what you mean but luckily the cleaner only takes the patina off & leaves the bronze alone.
I cleaned it tonight to take the wax sealant off,It was going darker but I prefer the "clean" look.
I'm trying different techniques until I get a look that I can live with.Its still a red bronze colour but the camera on my phone is shite & makes it look 9 carat gold.....I will get there eventually bro

Oh right, nothing wrong with experimenting then if it's not doing any damage.

Toro ain't even got the spec right on either watch stating it's a p9000 instead of the 9010 which it should be for this model!

My old ZFV4 - took a while to achieve this patina - by kitesurfing a lot :)
Second pic is after winter without going to the ocean - the patina wears off in places.

That second pic looks gooddamn amazing! so the greenish tint wears off/you can brush it off but the dark oxidation stays? sounds great!
Btw, cheers from a fellow windsurfer ;)
Can´t wait until my VSF 382 arrives, could be an other week :( ordered a Canvas from mustangstraps: http://www.mustangstraps.com/en/straps/all-canvas-series/canvas-on-bronzo/

Here is the photo

What is is happening with your watch @Sparky28 after you peeked it & sealed it with proper amount of wax did it prevent it from building patina
