New Arrival... Bronze Shark Diver

Regarding the "lemon bath". Is it necessary to submerge the watch in lemon juice or, is it sufficient to wet a cloth and just wipe the surface of the case?

[Ames]

Good choice. Great color combo.

Air is your friend in any sort of forced patina. I would think a Qtip wiped lightly should do the trick.

I use onions, lemon juice, vinegar or mustard on knives and it works great. Plus, you can always polish it off or add another coat to darken.

nice watch...much to big for you, but as long as your happy with it, rock it

[Demoman]

Looks a little big - what size is your wrist?

A little big??? That thing is massive on your wrist! You must have under a 6.5" wrist..

[Doom]

Love the bronze as a case. Sigh, I must shop for one now.

I do have a small wrist... under 6.5". But I do enjoy wearing large watches. I think this one doesn't look absurd. My limit is 47mm.

Awesome, thsiao! I want the side-by-sides with Olivier too.

Will do! If we ever get the Olivier...

I simply used a q-tip to apply it onto the watch. Used the q-tip to rubbed it a little too. I then used a damp cloth to clean it up.

Nice patina . How long has that been developing? Any special applications? Boiled eggs, liver of sulphur, vinegar, ketchup, salt water, boiled peanuts?

Thanks! I'll have to do it when I get my watch tomorrow.
