Tudor Black Bay Bronze - bronze patina developing

very very slowly though. Maybe because I wear it only 3x or so thus far as I rotate watches daily. Maybe because of the bronze with aluminium alloy so it does not oxidize as fast as say the Oris Bronze.

But what I saw is the bronze looking more and more matt and less shiny and some specs are on the bronze. The crown also looks greener. The tang buckle is also showing some patina.

Some pics to share

Cheers

A greener crown now

Case has become less "shiny"

The caseback is another alloy and not bronze I read somewhere. It "predicts" the Color of the bronze after years of patina development.

Nice lume

I have a feeling it will take some time to build patina.

Just judging from the picture and as nico noted comparing to an oris or the Brozo from Panerai. That seems like a good thing.

I think so too Bill

It will be slow but stable and I think it will be nicely developed , the patina I meant

Very nice. I like the fact it won't patina fast to tell the story of the wrist wear more over time. [nt]

... patience Has your beauty got in touch with water so far? Perhaps that would accelerate the process... But - on the other side - what for? Your watch will ripe slowly and become more and more a "product" of your personal life. It will ripe like good wi...
