Are all Pam bronzos 47mm or are there smaller ones?



Sent from my iPhone using RWI

Unfortunately all Panerai Bronzo watches are 47mm

How big is your rest

Mine is 5.5 inches and the 47 sets perfectly on it

Hello sparky

Is your watch turning pinkish after you clean it with peek

Mine is turning a bit pinkish after I cleaned with ketchup

Sounds impressive bro,

Not all tradesmen can turn there hands to different skills.

I mess about myself with metal polishing etc,I've fully polished my Seamaster head & strap which was definitely abit taxing cos of its polished & brushed finishes.Quite satisfying doing it yourself though,don't you agree?

I thought your photo was showing it very shiny. I've built radio controlled helicopters and alsorts I'm also into straight razors (cut throat) and sharpen them myself. I have 15 of them!

Is it also turning pinkish like mine

Our watches are VSF but mine is 382 with green dial

I have to check it as I'm not wearing it right now.
But do you think that less than 24hrs it would start to get darker already?
I will post some pics later!

And just for fun, this is my Zenith Pilot Bronze after a forced patina with ammonia:

And then after some light cleaning with vinegar:

450 size brushless electric, which is a 320mm rotor length so total rotor diameter was about 720mm including rotor head. So quite small really.
Anyway back to the thread, I've just pulled the trigger today on the 671 with josh. Simply couldn't wait could I. Especially after seeing all these beautiful variations of the 382 and 671 on this thread.

Yes

It's a little pinkish if you compare it to the outcome of @Sparky28 after using peek to clean his

your watch looks beautiful... if you just let it be it will develop a rich patina.... if you like that sort of thing.
I like the look a few days after cleaning with ketchup... but its lovely as it is now.

what you need now is a REALLY nice strap to match the dial... and a bronze buckle.
I love the green straps on this bronzo.
anyway....wear it in good health.
