THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED EXPLANATION! :-) Patina in seconds: WOW!
I will give it a try next month you as you proposed with dipping in hot diluted fluid. If it totally goes wrong I will bead-blaster the surface. Fortunately I have some buckles to try before. :-)
Great idea to start with the buckles first (I started with those incredible Maddog bronze buckles that you included with the CH6, and they reacted very similarly to the bronze case on the CH6). So after I dipped the buckles and polished them a bit, I then dipped the watch case.
It has been said that the patina can be removed with lemon juice or a mixture of citric acid (which is a variation of lemon juice I guess).
I have not done this, but it looks like people have had success with it...some others here at 3T may have done similar.
