I'm rather used to divers around 42mm, and I already sense that the lack of a large
bezel, the crystal on this is far more exposed. Needs some time to get used to, I guess.

Im thinking to get one ... let me know if u like it and if not sell it to me so.i can try it

 

[sub05]

Yeah, I saw your wanted- ad. But trust me, I like it alot. As far as I'm conserned, the ONLY thing that lets it down a LITTLE is the freespinning. Just a well made rep.

Has anyone tried forcing a patina on their Type 20 bronze? I've got mine sitting in palmolive right now, seems to be coming along nicely...

As far as I know, only KW/V6F makes the bronze version of this watch and only with a Miyota 9015 movement.

There's also a KW 2892 version. Not 2824 in bronze pilot I think.

 

[Hyjynx]

You sure that's not the rosegold version?

thanks, just confirm with dealer, bronze version is KW2824 and 9015 , is it 9015 better ? both also from KW/V6F, 9015 version more expensive.

Awesome with the ostrich strap, Thrasher!

Its super nice you wont be disappointed.

I have the miyota one. I find the rotor is noisy. Does the 2824 have the same problem?
Other than that the watch is amazing.

Yeah, the 9015 Miyota's rotor is indeed much noisier than my SS version with 2824, but for my money, it's the better movement for the long haul.

A bit hard to capture from my cell but it turned out nice. Takes a lot of the shine out of the crown which is good. I could probably keep doing more treatments to get it really dark but im ok with it as is

I'm quite happy with mine after 41/2 months but the crown, although duller than it was when new, still needs to be toned down a bit.

Yours looks great fchan, can you describe the process you put yours through please?
