Got mine today from WBK. I love it but I would like to know what non-gen items you experts see. Beautiful with IMHO.

Come on, you do really want us to compare your 21j with a proper high end rep?

I believe that is a new entry level version with non-decorated Seagull ST2555, non of the detail is spot on.. Sorry mate.

Let's just say your movement looks a little different than my kw version..

Looks very different. Like I said, I am no expert. The price was good and I love mine.
I must be weird, I am not into this for the most gen like version I can find.

WBK sent me pics and price before I said yes, nothing was misrepresented. If i would have requested the seagull/21j or whatever yours is, i am sure he would have found it.

I don't try to pass my watch off as something it isn't. If I see something that is beautiful to me, I buy it.

Yours looks nice too. Cheers!

I guess not. I am learning. The pic that evil penguin posted was helpful. I love the way this sits on the wrist. Great watch.

I'm with you telebuzz......... I kinda doubt I'll ever bump into someone who has ever even seen a gen Bronzo, never mind someone actually wearing one. I wear mine all the time and love it. Flaws? Not a big deal by any means.

I bought a higher end sub but I would have been fine with a little less expensive watch. I work with people who definitely can afford any gen but very nice gens other than a date just or breitling are rare.
If it was visibly crooked somehow or the watch won't run, then I have a problem. Other than that, I am a big man and this watch seems to fit my wrist perfectly. I keep looking at it, very attractive design. Enjoy yours!!

Nothing wrong with a 21j, nothing at all mate :)
I had a few myself and I still own a couple. They are just not comparable to the higher end reps.

Gotta collect them all! Especially if you like how the bronzo sits on your wrist, you'll easily like the ceramic and titanium versions as well!

I got this one from a TD.. What do you think? For me it´s much too coppery or am I wrong? Will the patina change to bronze sometime? Thank you for any comments rg. my new PAM382 .

what version is that ? Is it a KW ?

about the color..... I recently got one and it was also very coppery. I happen to like that... still I cleaned off the tarnish with ketchup and rinsed with warm water.... it was still coppery but the black tarnish was gone.....a few weeks have passed now and its back to a normal shade of bronze. the color will change as it patinas.

give it time to find it's color. Thats the way bronze is. the color WILL change.

I think it looks fine skinny crown and all.
The numbers on the bezel look perfectly aligned which seems to be quite rare these days.
Does the lever snap shut against the crown when you close it ?

Mine looked coppery when I got it and even more so when cleaned with lemon juice. I cleaned it with a cream tarnish remover and it turned more bonzey ... after a few months they all look good !
