Good thing you bought it or I would have two Brinze anonimos right nowmistake.gif

Funny how the brioze case on that one is SO different my Polluce;'s.. what bronze is it?


Thanks amigo!!!! 

Regarding the bronze, should be the same as yours, UNI 5275 (CuAl11Fe4Ni4) is the only Bronze alloy that Anonimo is building watch cases with as far as I know.  I do think the appearance has everything to do with the environments that the case has experienced, and definitely the age of the case and how far developed the patina is.  I would say that the patina on this one is not all that far along (and if I can recall your pics, I think yours has more patina developement than this one).  I also know that the appearance may look different depending on whether the owner has polished off the original patina at some point and let it start to patina again.

Got to love the bronze IMO, the case appearance is like a snapshot in time and constantly changing.
