Elio, known as 'heartbreaker' on WatchProSite, shares his experience with the rapid patina development on his Oris bronze watch. His post highlights a common characteristic of bronze cases: the unique and swift evolution of their surface, which can even leave traces on the wearer's skin. This phenomenon sparks a discussion among collectors about the material's interaction with skin and its aesthetic appeal.
You know, on bronze watches patina evolves so fast it's quite funny. Today, after less than two weeks, my Oris looks already a skilled pirate watch ;-)
And its copper patina even started to leave some traces on my wrist: please note the greenish stain...
Ciao,
Elio
Elio, Traditional bronze alloys leave copper salts on skin. Oris is still pretty though. Silver bronze alloys are less susceptible, I hear.... Regards MTF
Thanks for sharing I ordered the Tudor Black Bay bronze and I will share how my develops patina too Cheers Robin
according to this: www.watchprosite.com developments, so it seems! Cheers, Magnus
...I didn't want to ruin the OEM strap. I wanted to buy a rubber strap, but it seems nobody makes them in uneven measures (21 mm.). So, I'll probably look for a nylon strap. Ciao, Elio
A new watch and a new tattoo? But unfortunately I don't love the latter... ;-) Ciao, Elio
When I've ordered the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition, Baselworld was still far, so I sincerely don't know if I would have preferred to order the one or the other. The Tudor has objectively a lot of "plus", but to my eyes it has a too much pronounced vintage style. Waiting for your pics and much evaluated opinions! Ciao, Elio
