Starting out with the Bronze Moray this morning...this is what the patina looks like today. REALLY liking how the bronze case is developing on this one.
Hey Chris...I think if you take this out for a stroll at the beach often enough, you'll be able to speed up the aging-to-a-unique-patina process. Might make sense when there's less snow up where you guys are. I love that watch, amigo. I'd score it a 10/10
Thanks Jeff!...man, would I love to be giving this one a workout on the beach, as I agree, the salt-water, sand, and humidity would be a great environment for the bronze to mingle with. Now, as you know there is not a beach within thousands of miles of here and all my beach time must be experienced by hopping on a plane, so what's a guy to do?
In the meantime (and I've done the egg process on it a few times to really get things going), I continue to rub my oily fingers all over this case every chance I get...I think it is working...and there is evidence of this on the back of the lugs since when it's on the wrist those areas get quite a bit of direct contact with the skin throughout the day. Not much humidity in Colorado all year round...no doubt high humidity would help a bunch too!!!
