Patina!

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I was having a little fun with the 382 yesterday.


I will probably reset soon, but it's such a fun watch.

Looks like it was just recovered from the Titanic! I like it...

Love the way it looks here! Personally even if I actually found a watch in a shipwreck I would clean it up as much as possible before wearing.

Holy crap I love that - how do you do it so quick?

Salt water mate. Either in a spray bottle or dip it a few times a day.

Haha mate! Not trying to be mean or anything but this thing looks sick to me (quite literally in a bad way) in the first 2 pics. Make sure you put on some gloves in the process and check if your skin is not allergic to that green layer of oxide.

I like the end results though. Super authentic looking

Actually it does little or no harm to the material of the watch at all, it cleans off with lemon juice.

Good to know although I dig the look!

There are several threads here about adding patina to Bronzos, do a search.
