That’s a really clean piece...I like the brushed gold/bronze look on the case.

Patina is looking good on my Bronze Diver

 

[AtomicTom]

It really IS True ! 👀🥇🏆 You know what's neat honestly, is how this
watch can actually end up being multiple watches within a year. And also
countless watches over the years when you think about it. It really
has all of these amazing personalities because of the patina !

Really is something sir. ..Thank you very very much for the update !!!

The patina is getting there on mine as well. The NATO is long gone, as the hardware definitely wasn't real bronze. I had it on distressed leather the past few weeks, but it's back on the rubber for a while, as work and a hobby will have me in and around a lot of water the next month+.

Hey, that is neat too mwbuss8 !😯

Yours has a more matte hue that is happening it looks like. 🙂

It's getting there. I'm assuming the humidity here in Vietnam, as well as the sweat from being a PE teacher, have been speeding up the process a bit. I've only had it for a month.

That is really something, and just beyond cool how
quickly the finish can evidently transform. 😎😎😀

Will be something to see what happens just in the
next month ! Please keep us updated. ..And
thanks a ton for the look !!!

I've already scraped off some green crusties here and there, though after washing my car today, I'm looking down at my wrist while typing and see a LOT more. I'd like it to get darker, but eventually I'll probably start waxing it.

 

[AtomicTom]

Just imagining the possibilities, or possible looks with the
finishes on a watch like this is really something mwbuss ! 😮
You can let it go, and it will become one way, or polish it
like you said, and have a completely different look, and
almost watch.

Really is terrific when you think about it. Keep on enjoying !!!

I decided to wear the bronze for a trail marathon this weekend! 🤣

The green compliments your skin tone well. 😀 I wonder if you could apply an acrylic sealant or something on the underside. Perhaps not worth it.

I'm going to wait a while and let it get darker, but eventually I'll start waxing it, just like is done with statues to maintain a consistent color.

Oh wow, that IS funny mwbuss8. 😄

I can imagine your face when you saw your wrist at first. 😲
You probably thought you were turning into the Hulk or
something. 😁 Well at least you know that you can get
it under control eventually.

Want to thank for the update mwbuss, along with the laugh !!!

 

[Truetone]

Haven't gotten any green crusties on mine yet.

 

[Gary]

I clean mine every now and then.

 

[AtomicTom]

Yeah, wow, honestly BOTH look brand new still !! 😮😮

Guess it takes time for any change to happen. Man they are beautiful !! 🤯🤯
Am betting both of you have already gotten a few nice comments on them.
Thanks very much for the update on things !!!

Back in Black! I've come to appreciate both this watch and the original strap it came on. This has become my everyday watch because I use the bezel to time all the little trips that I take on my bike now that the weather is nice.

 

[AtomicTom]

Can see why True.😉 It's just such a beautiful looking watch, as
well as classic style. But with the ultra cool bronze twist ! 😎😎 And
the strap is the cherry on top, because it not only looks great, but
also fits like a glove right?!

Honestly think this watch will always be one you enjoy sir. Have fun
out there with it True !

 

[Truetone]

This has become my go to watch now that I found I use the bezel so often to time my walks and bike rides. I have 3 other watches with bezels but this is the best one.Plus I found that I like the rubber strap better than the bracelets on my other dive watches.
