Congratulations!!!

Yeah cheers. I cleaned it with lemon juice as you saw in my recent posts then the day after I gassed it with eggs again to get the instant patina back. I guess I'm one of those that likes the patina effect, especially now with the new gunny. [emoji6]

I cleaned the 671 with ketchup to have a rose gold tone so the patina can develop in this base
The 382 I cleaned with lemon and vinegar, so it could be more yellow gold tone.

Both were submerged (no rubbing), cleaned with water and soap and dryed.

Now just let them get a good patina!

Update on my 671 I ordered two weeks ago. Sead's mother passed a short time ago and was delayed a bit which is understandable. he is now getting to work again. First 671 he got had a misaligned 45 marker. He didn't even send me quality control pics because he knows how picky I am. Should have some QC pics in a day or so I can go over and hopefully I can have a 671 shipped in a few days. Can't wait.

As I remember you mention in earlier post that you will wax you Bronzo with extra amount of wax

Did this works with you to prevent patina or slow it down from developing on the watch

this weekend i did the hardboiled egg trick on my Tudor BBB ..impressed by the result, not pleased with the un-even patina. Maybe I go back to clean clean watch and let it grow by itself
