Wait a week or so, wear something with sleeves and gently introduce new watch, making sure to coquettishly flash a little bit of it, almost subliminally, in the peripheral vision.
After a few days, new watch looks like watch you have had for some time, and everyone is calm and safe.

You've not noticed my style of watch collection?? - The chances of me getting away with .. "Oh this ... you've seen this before .. I've had it ages" Are slim to none

Not quite a Seamaster or the blue Aqua Terra that I would really like but given I already have a white Aqua Terra and a black F1, the best I can do to get the finance signed off!
Should be a good size for my skinny wrists which do not like anything bigger than a 41mm dial

I can't recall who or in which thread... but someone asked for continuation pics on how the Stowa bronze case evolves in time. Well I wanted to share some pics 3 weeks in and after multiple washes etc (covid precautions, dirt etc). After a wash with soap/handwash the case gets a little brighter but still warm bronze. Within a day it returns to the factory finish look and over a couple of days forms a visual textured finish which is vintage and really pleasing to look at. The surface is still perfectly smooth of course, so whatever hand finished treatment Stowa apply lives up to their claims that it should not oxidise much more beyond their preferred "look" which in my eyes looks nigh on perfect for how a vintage bronze case should look and not have to worry about green stuff growing or uneven patina (cough ORIS cough...) or anything like that.
I can confidently call this my grail watch now. If I never bought another watch I would be perfectly happy with just this alone, especially on the Hirsch rubber strap.

And not case related, but the movement really does deserve an inspection with a loupe, the detailing is fab:

I'm still mulling over getting one myself, all be it the 40mm, and I'll probably go hand wind as well though Stowa's website doesn't make it clear as to if the screw down part of the case back is steel or bronze like yours. There is, of course, the green dial with bronze handset option soon to be released as well - I've spoken about that one before.
Hmmm.....
