Hello Bob! Thank you so much for sharing your Tudor and...
... the evolution of its patina.
I find it interesting indeed and understand that patina adds character. I know patina can be acelerated by continuous use specially if submerged in sea water.

Oh, I see.
The original shine does look good and using a 'natural' cleaner should restore the shine without damage to the case. I know it will clean the case but I wonder if the lemon or vinegar will make it patina faster in storage? Any thoughts? Aloha, Bob
Thank you for your comments Bob! Yes, I have to check about the use of those natural products first, before using them on my watch. In the meantime I´ll enjoy the ...

Interesting to see how the patina develops
I was looking at this recently and must say I was fascinated Bucherer Special Edition with Blue dial. And i had the same thought as you Abel, that patina is nice but I also love the shine of the unoxidised bronze case. Stefan ...
