 I was lucky enough to try out the new bronze Moray for the past few weeks,and below are some pics of how the watch arrived and how it looks today.
...the new CuSn8 is amazing,and looks like a shiny penny on arrival,within a few days it started to patina on it's own in some humid Ohio weather,but I like to speed things up and did a sulphur gel bath for only a couple minutes....the patina sets in fast,and the buckle only required a dipping...the result + another week on it's own has nurtured a fantastic rich honey patina as I described earlier as a nice pair of antiqued bronze baby shoes,the hues of color are amazing.
... I am sure everyone who got in on the B-Mo will be as happy as I am....the custom date wheel matching the dial color is awesome,as is the exhibition caseback that reveals the decorated eta 2824(pics to follow)...the use of titanium on the caseback and crown add an element of contrast between the grey of the Ti and bronze that works well together...ThumbsUp02.gif
