Someone slap me and call me stupid. I hadn't been coming into this thread, because I figured it was just like the love fest that's going on in the other thread. I wasn't aware this other stuff was going on. I remember that email and thought it was a little fishy sounding but I didn't know you guys were addressing this here.

I also experienced some up&downs there with the notifications: And they don't crash in the spam box...They just don't come. But it represent a small percentage.. Anyway, as I told earlier, the bronze fury will pass... I may sound like I repeat myself but... As I said: The human skin absorbs much more than what people are aware of. I come again with that because I've seen a lot off bull on other forums about guys saying that since you don't swallow your bronze case, you're out of danger. Right. Take for exemple the Phthalates who are most likely present in many straps made of plastic derivates, to make them flexibles. Yes, your plastic watch straps. Those Phthaltes also was recognised to unbalance the hormone level in humans from child age due to contact with certain plastic toys. Compromising fertility when they become adults. Other serious symptoms are also coming out through research as even ADHD and much more. Enjoy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate Any metal who corrode easily on the skin, will allow some penetration of elements in the pores then blood, organs. It's a fact. Even the percentages of lead and other unhealthy elements are low in the CuSn8, remember that there is a reason for that brass parts used in plumbery have to be lead-free in many parts of the world: We start now to understand health symptoms we didn't before. To conclude, I would say that whatever the Bronze you wear, you will just add something unwanted inside you, who will make a nice cocktail with your plastic straps...

Don't worry. There will be more. It is too popular of a configuration to go away! Props to Oscar and Hammerfjord for presenting A METRIC SH*T TON of information for us newbies to take in. I do not see it as flaming at all. I may still decide to go with a watch made on the moon, if I like it. But I do appreciate the knowledge and transparency. So much info...

Watch out for drinking drinking non-organic celery juice through a plastic straw :) I have tested some vintage painted ammo leather and some has come up with very high lead content.

I started on my side to look reportages about Phthalates and read seriously about this since aside from my job on oil fields, I've worked nearly a full year with kids having serious ADHD and behavior problems. The amount of such children has exploded the last years and it continues. What's hurts me is that they might: And I mean they might have them life seriously damaged because this product got in every soft plastic products during years. And we are just scratching the surface of the symptoms as chemical cocktails are giving different repercussions... This is serious and proven by many different studies.
