Make sure it is tomato ketchup. And not just put it on the watch, clean it with ketchup. Lemon should work as well (cocentrated)

Just a question. Even after 45min I don't seem to be able to rid of 95% of the patina. Has anyone tried resting patina with a stronger acid like Coca-Cola?

I like to use baking soda as an 'activator' when resetting the patina. It reacts with the vinegar in the ketchup and helps get into the nooks and crannies a little easier.

Do a ketchup bath again, scrub a little with an old toothbrush and then start adding little bits of baking soda (1/4 of a teaspoon at a time) while scrubbing. In about 10 minutes, she should be clean as whistle.

I have tried Sprite and tonic water with little to no effect.

Just got my kw today... It's a beautiful watch. Really disappointed that the NATO is so short. If your wrist is over 7 inches, it's useless. The leather strap is passable for now. One thought, I think brass would be a better material to use for this watch. It's much closer in color than the (too red) color bronze they are using. My Regina brass watch looks closer to the gen and even seems to patina in the same way (more of a greyish than brown patina). But at the price, don't hesitate... This is a stunning watch.

Flaws notwithstanding... I don't think there's a prettier watch out there for the money... Gen or rep

On a 24mm NATO strap. Looks great without any gaps at the lugs.

I am a bit disappointed in the nato as well. Good 1st effort. My wrist is close to 7 and after what seems like hours of adjusting the buckle it fits decent but all the holes are freeing badly from pulling it through to wear it

The NATO looks like crap. On the other hand, after a dip in Salt water my patina looks much better and the rise gold tone has been replaced with a funky opulesence.

Nice to know about the size and quality of the NATO. Too bad. I was looking forward to wearing that combo.

I think, the kw straps are terribly awful.

I had a leather vintage strap made by corrigia, that was nice. But I wanted a strap, I could use for the beach and for swimming:

By far the best pictures available on the Tudor Bronze! Great shots mate and rep points for doing this.
Well [MENTION=89747]Gazz[/MENTION] is known for his ability to use light and camera to create stunning photos. Great post gazz. There are many great photographer's here and across the street that do a tremendous job portraying watches.

Viewing his beautiful pictures drives home my desire to have mine in hand that much more. My dealer has had my Tudor Bronze for over month now since I saw the QC pictures. We are waiting on the watch maker to finalize the case work on my other half of the order, an Omega PO Ti LM.

I also like the strap [MENTION=125392]Rong[/MENTION] put on his Tudor Bronze

I think it is the rep.
The pictures make it look nicer.
To be confirmed.
