Methods to 'shine' your Bronzo

[DR3M3L]

While waiting for my 382 to arrive wanted to test out a safe why to shine it. Found out this idiot proof way and tested it on my yr old helson.

Soaked it for 15mins in this food grade stuff.

I think if you wanted more shine just soak longer.

Enjoy your experiments!

Hooo. Thanks for the tip. Useful if I decide to clean up my bronze in the future.

i think the bronzo looks much better clean and shiny so much more attractive almost like gold ;D

guys this might be a retarded question but is it safe to dip the watch into any solution? is it waterproofed? Thanks

Lemon juice works better. You can also cut a lemon in half and sprinkle salt on it for a scratch free abrasive affect that will clean off the green oxidation from sea water.

In the Bronze Age they used extra virgin olive oil (the best from the first pressing) with the lowest possible level of acidity (below 0,8). Just apply a very light coat and the oil acts as sealer and protectant. They probably knew what they where doing with their swords, their life depended on it....

That would look lovely on the huge crystal!

For those that want to understand why the patina can be so desirable, have a look at the Watchuseek forum packed with some great examples
