This hands down is the best patina on a bronze watch in the history of time.

THE BRONZE!



People say bronze watches are classic, but we can also say that about a full bush and we all know that is disgusting.


...and Melissa Rauch - of The Big Bang Theory - gives me a chubby...even when she talks like Jewish grandmother. Is that weird? Nah.

Then you need to find a polished bezel/watch bronze example.
Brushed will patina and dull a lot differently than the polished.
I prefer brushed where there's more friction for patina to set in. Polished you can rub that bezel against your jeans and it'll be like new/gold.
I'm not aware of any polished bronze watches out there except for that Anonimo

I love my bronze. It's slowly developing a nice patina. If I flip it it will probably be to upgrade to the Zenith Type 20 bronze.
