but still big case small movement these days is not something rarely seen across brands. Cheers D
I would have done it differently, but that's just my opinion. Nici
I bet they also chose silver for the same aging process as bronze? Silver also oxidizes and tarnishes over time unless they made their own alloy in order to prevent oxidation. Nevertheless a very nice looking piece. Thanks for sharing, Laurent
Silver case - wonder how patina will look on this one? I am guessing very nice! Thank you for keeping us up to date! Best Blomman
Will be good to see it in the flesh Thanks for posting the details Tim
