Congrats Oscar & Tony on the new arrivals!!! happy guy.gif

These "Brass" cased watches showing up on the scene raise at least as many questions as Bronze cased pieces have relative to the metallurgy IMO. ...not all "Brass" formulations have the same resistance to salt water and environmental elements...I'm wondering if these makers are using "marine grade" brass formulations at a minimum (too much zinc in the brass formulation...say 15% or more, and the resistance to corrosion is going to be a problem).

These are beautiful designs coming from Armida though...
