does anyone know exactly what bronze alloy this watch will be using...I'm seeing some forums reporting the same bronze used by Panerai and in the new Moray CuSn8,but find it hard to believe it can be offered at this low price point?...it is a no frills,bare bones watch imo with only the hands being lumed on the dial,and low WR,but my understanding is that bronze cases take more time to produce,which adds to the cost...it's been rumored Magrette seems to be rebranding Alphas as of late?,which could also be the reason they can be offered at a much lower cost....but I have reason to suspect it is brass and not bronze,only time will tell...especially since the Chinese think brass and bronze are the same...dog smile.gif
