Enjoy with health bro.

Did you cleaned it with peak & sealed it with the extra amount of wax or not yet because I see some brown patina developing on the your watch

I cleaned it with peak a week ago & left it bro

I'm going to try the ketchup method later

You only cleaned with peek but you didn't seal it with wax

Why you didn't wax it again to prevent patina from developing if you like your watch shinny

I sealed it with the wax & left it about a fortnight BUT it looked like it was turning more of a gold colour,
Now I wasn't sure if it was the peek or wax that made it gold colour,so I've used the ketchup method tonight to hopefully start turning it bronze again.
If this works THEN I will seal it with wax again & see what colour that turns it,
It's gonna be a journey of experiments until I get it right [emoji6]
These two pics are taken tonight post ketchup but it goes to show how the lighting can make the bronze look totally different

Ketchup is the way to go. Cheap and effective. I have used this methodology several times on my Zenith extra special.

I'll wager that all of you will eventually give up on this and just let the watch take it's course ...after all that's what it was meant to be .. a bronze watch.

When I got my Bronzo I played around with many many ways to get a patina on it and after a month I just let it go it's own way. That's what looks best IMO.

BUT ...it certainly was fun ;)

Agreed... will try the ketchup method as well...
Any specific brands? Wonder what BBQ sauce would do ! :hehehe:
