Pam 382 Patina Restart

[xaneda]

Hi all,

My Pam 382 crown guard was broken. So I decide to send the watch back to Kuvarsit.


They said that it couldn't be repaired when they got it back from the factory.

Therefore, I have to buy a new crown guard from them.



When I got the watch back, the new crown guard was of a different color.

Very raw, very new, very pinkish. It was almost rose gold like.

So to solve the issue of having a different color crown guard, it was time for a restart of the patina.


SO HERE WE GO!!!



Before the lemon bath, I got my watchsmith to remove the movement just in case the watch isn’t waterproofed.

Out after the 1st 15mins in the lemon bath.

Then washing with toothpaste and brushing.

Out after the 2nd 15mins in the lemon bath,

After washing and brushing with toothpaste again.

Movement back in after greasing of the casket.

Back on the strap.

Consistent color throughout. Happy bronzo again.

LET THE AGING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!

The fun part of owning a Bronzo is re-starting the patina process.

May I ask how much a new CG cost you and what version of Bronzo do you have ?

I wonder if they can source a crown as many here have been unhappy with some of the skinny crowns being installed lately in both KW's and ZF's.

Hi voxx, the new crown guard cost 35 usd.

My bronzo would be a KW V3 seagull.

I got it around Dec last year.

I have been reading about the new skinny crown.

How does it looks compared to mine? Any pics?

Cheers!

New to the rep game and completely fascinated by the bronzing process of these. Thanks for the education, Gents!

Looking great!

For me the best patina is the natural one, gained as time goes by.
