I've been looking at the SLOB watches. They have a bronze case. But it looks so much different than say a 382. I'm wondering if they patina. Anyone have pics of any changes that have happened to their bronze?

The bronze is plated so I guess it would not react normally to the environment. And the only exposed portion is on the inside of the case which is usually airtight.

This would explain it!
Pamn Danerais, they're all so similar. Yet so different!

SLOB cannot develop a patina because the bronze material is coated. The inner rehaut is protected from the environment
