...here is what Steve sent me in his words since it worked out so well and surprisingly it is "green: formula which every WIS has in their home!!
"ok, here is what I did, this is fairly easy.
I hard boiled a few eggs, you just need 1, I ate the others.
when it is still hot and right out of the boiling water with shell on, put it in a ziplock bag with the watch, but separate the watch from the egg so they are on opposite sides of the bag.
then with the bag zipped up put a towel over the egg and smash it with your fist, the towel because the egg is still very hot.
The sulfur air released from the steaming hot hard boiled egg will fill the bag and the bag will inflate some, then the steam turns to water at the top of the bag.
rub the bag on the watch, but try not to get egg on the watch it will make dark spots... which is okay if that is what you want.
monitor it to see the color change, I think I left mine in about 10 minutes. I may do it again and see if it gets darker. I really love the new finish, the watch when it is new is too yellow for my taste."
much like Steve the new bronze was a bit too much on the "gilt" side for me and below is a pictorial of the process and the end result which took all of about a half hour as shown on the bronze Moray itself.My Moray now has a great aged look with some great green and brown and rust tones throughout that change with the lighting...all Thanks to Steve!
