Brass or Bronze. What ya got ??

Post by reggie748 » Sun Jan 31, 2016 10:57 am

I went through a phase of diggin' the patina, aka rust, that was exclusive to bronze or brass pieces. The first pair remain in the box at this stage.
The last one is no longer on board.

Helberg CH6 (a swine to photogragh with that big old domed crystal but built like a tank) !

Had the Helberg, great watch but too big for me.

Would consider the Aquadive BS100 and my favorite bronze watch:

The Kazimon is probably the only one that ever appealed to me, otherwise I have never understood the draw of Bronze.

I love the look of bronze, especially with a nice patina, but don't have any.

I'd grab a bronze green dial CH8 like this one if I could get a killer preowned deal

Thanks. We were in St Thomas over Christmas on a cruise, and just finished doing the underwater mopeds, and we had about a hour of free time to snorkel.

Oh, and a piece of brass for a beater:
