This is a sample case and the finished cases will be a bit more refined. Ralf will be heading to the factory maybe next week to work with them on this and do an inspection on the Meg 2.

The Patina (oxidization) has already started, overnight the bronze has started to look darker than when I opened it yesterday. I will post photos as the case darkens.

I did order 20 Polyurethane rubber straps for these bronze Morays. These are the kind that can be shaped to fit around the wrist by boiling them. They also do not stretch and do not attract dirt, dust, or lint.










 

Just awesome Steve!!!!  WooHoo....Love it!!!!my love.gif

Oh man...better save some more coins for the watch fund!

That rubber strap is a perfect match for the Moray case, and I'm very glad to see that you went with the higher quality polyurethane rubber that is shape-able and will not attract dust and lint!!!thumbsup.gif

These are going to be so sweet.

 Calendar is marked and the savings will start.

This is going to be one seriously good looking watch when complete.

 Here are some photos after 3 days. I needed a functioning watch if I am going to wear the case around,so I dropped in some parts from the first Moray: a stealth dial because I have an 8215 with a broken date wheel, polished hands because that is all I have available, and a megalodon crown because it fits the threading on the case.... I could try a worldiver crown and that would also work. I had to modify the movement holder to fit the case, but it is a very nice fit now.

I will probably swap out the dial and hands later tonight with my steel Moray, because they are closer to what the final bronze will look like (black dial with c3, black hands with c3). also because as nice as this looks, the black dial and hands with c3 will look much better.

so here we see the patina after 3 days of handling the case with my oily fingers.
