Craustin,you can call it splitting hairs,flaming,whatever!...but take the time to read this entire thread,and take into consideration what was being implied...is $850. with eta a good deal on a bronze alloy watch?...imo it is,as long as Zinc does not exist in the composition...once it appears it is no longer bronze.
....Roland repeatedly stated his watches were CuSn8 in this thread,also German...now suddenly while in the machining stage they show impurities...what impurities?...the new high tech bronze he is claiming has impurities as well...it contains elements other than copper and tin...this is what I am pointing out... this new alloy can also be considered CuSn8 since everyone now believes it has such a wide range of elements,so then why say anything?...you see it's not about bronze or brass anymore,it's about being truthful....it's about using the term CuSn8,because Panerai used the same...why did all the bronze watch guys claim that?...because that is what the Chinese watch manufacturers told them,and lead them to believe.Roland included imho...
Any of bronze alloy is not made to be used on human skin anyway: Some metal contained inside being lightly poisonous during corrosion.
Those alloy never been conceived with this in mind: They was conceived for industrial purposes.
Panerai made it's choice and it don't mean that it's the absolute best in fact: Panerai is not transforming bronze in gold.
Now, the Chinese are using this brand's prestige to supposedly sell this alloy: It's just about marketing as Oscar says it.
Sure, this CuSn8 has a special tone but the same tone can surely be replicated with a slightly different alloy who may be containing more or less poisonous metals.
Hopefully this bronze craze will pass: Coz all of that starts to be tiring and ridiculous.
One more time, all I see is a bunch of WIS who think that high brands are gods dictating laws of nature....
