Looks decent, I dare say. And it’s affordable right now.

It does look good and I am tempted.
One thing with the bronze watches though, look great new in photos and patina is a selling point but I struggle to see some good pictures of “worn in” bronze watches.

I don’t like CW personally, that style does nothing for me. hehe

I don’t really see an issue with the bronze ageing as such, perhaps more important not to get it wet?

I recall an old chap wearing a cheap (relatively speaking - 9ct) gold bracelet - the back of it was all green/mouldy...I doubt if he ever took it off.

I would strongly recommend this. Mine is now 4 months old and whilst I have not worn it as much recently, it is starting to age well I think.

I do love a Hamilton, one of the bets value for money "mainstream" brands IMHO.

On the bronze front, I have a Magrette Moana Pacific Waterman bronze and it has aged very well, with a nice patina. It did have bit of green when I was wearing it in high humidity environments, but that has gone.

I'm not a big fan of forced patina where the watch goes green/blue etc. so am happy with how it looks now.

Reminds me of those German watches, Nomos? Not bronze though.
