Please make a rep of this!
There are not enough black on bronze reps for sure.

Case material is 9k bronze gold. I'm wondering if their recipe is the same as omega, 50% copper, 37% gold and some other metals. I wonder what the tarnish is like on those because i dont think they will get tourquoise layer like true bronze does, so if the gens don't tarnish, it would be a curious rep. The factories would make it like other bronze watches I would assume, so it would tarnish like any other bronze rep, I personally wouldn't care.

Speaking of bronze gold, I was in an AD the other day and saw a bronze gold seamaster. It stopped me in my tracks and I had to ask the nice lady if it was bronze or gold, I didn’t realize there was a mixture.

It looked just awesome.

Cool material combination for this super expensive FF, the box is horrible in my opinion, tacky and ugly

Gold + Bronze is a cool mix, but for me the Sinn Goldbronze and Breitling 's own Gold +Bronze are better in my humble opinion

For all these alloys, the Bronze is treated and it will not change colour and oxidize...

Hi, new here,
Im looking to buy my first homage, fifty fathoms been on my radar, been searching for few weeks for the right one!
prefer vintage style than the modern interpreatation but that is growing on me.

I found this Thorn version but would prefer stainless steel than brass/copper or whatever it is,
seen steel diver's version but not happy with its 52mm lug to lug. may end up buying Rdunae no logo but only grips is the 19mm lug spacing,
can anyone suggest others ?
