I was lucky enough to try out the new bronze Moray for the past few weeks,and below are some pics of how the watch arrived and how it looks today.
...the new CuSn8 is amazing,and looks like a shiny penny on arrival,within a few days it started to patina on it's own in some humid Ohio weather,but I like to speed things up and did a sulphur gel bath for only a couple minutes....the patina sets in fast,and the buckle only required a dipping...the result + another week on it's own has nurtured a fantastic rich honey patina as I described earlier as a nice pair of antiqued bronze baby shoes,the hues of color are amazing.
... I am sure everyone who got in on the B-Mo will be as happy as I am.
...the custom date wheel matching the dial color is awesome,as is the exhibition caseback that reveals the decorated eta 2824(pics to follow)...the use of titanium on the caseback and crown add an element of contrast between the grey of the Ti and bronze that works well together...ThumbsUp02.gif

Simply awesome Oscar!!!!wowzer.gifthumbsup.gif That is HOTTT!

Thanks for posting this very cool sequence of pics! bravo.gif

The new B-Mo is one hot piece...beautifully machined CuSn8 case and that Bronze Benarus buckle is killer too! Love how the green dial turned out!

I paid for my reservation yesterday, so I will be joining you soon!!!...happy guy.gif Given the fact that the air here in Colorado is so crisp and dry, I expect I will be accelerating things along at some point.

Your end result is simply spectacular!!!!

Ty Guys...it is without a doubt one of the nicest bronze watches out there imo...real bronze has a look like no other...I have to commend Ralf & Steve for finding the flaw and correcting it with true integrity,and helping out the other micro brands in the process...Benarus is a Class Act!!...!~ThumbsUp02.gif

Awesome pictures Oscar! Wonderful patina developing as well. That new bronze buckle is particularly fetching; is is a 24mm or Benarus' more common 22mm?

The 24mm buckle will come standard,the one pictures is a 22mm for tapered straps,and will be available FS as an accessory on the Benarus site...ThumbsUp02.gif

Thanks Oscar! 24 and 22mm open up the full range of strap options. Now I am even more excited to receive mine next week!

That is really really nice!
Jaw dropping nice. Thanks for the before and after pics. Really helps to visualize how the patina sets in.
Man I really wish I had the fund to drop on that.
Of all the bronze micros coming out, I think the Aquadive, Moray, and the Kaizamon look the best in bronze.
Spectacular!

How the heck did I miss this thread...
It's a beauty and I agree with Sparki on that strap. It's a perfect combo
