I am resurrecting an old tutorial. @Tan_Go let me know the the images were missing.

A Bronzo journey:

It had patina

Patina removed by soaking in lemon juice.

Dipped in salt water before new patina.

Placed into a tub with ammonia, Bottle cap used to keep the watch out of direct contact with the ammonia. Then sealed for about 10 minutes.
