Interesting topic...should have avoided it as now tempted again...

I have a Tudor Bronze BB and really like how it's patinating...I don't wear it regularly but its nice and different when I do...didn't buy to flip....bought for pleasure!! Thats what they are for!

Hadn't come across the Marine Klassik from Stowa in bronze before...looks really nice...and that Oris pointer! glorious..MUST KEEP CREDIT CARD IN POCKET

As a 51 year old man with fashion far from my radar It's nice to read that I am currently fashionable...looks like I wont wont be though...shame!! LOL

I have to cut down on buying watches, () but that is firmly on my want list.

I have the Christopher Ward, in GMT flavour.

I absolutely love it, and wear it as a daily. My favourite watch, including stuff that is more expensive. As it has patinated, it has just looked better and better. The finishing and build quality seems great - but I guess time will tell.

This was it new. Looks quite different now: the raised markings in the bezel edge are still bright, probably due to being polished by a shirt cuff. The rest of the case is patinating and looks like old brass. Lovely.

Things I would improve? The hour markings would be better if edged in metal, and the matt, blue face is a bit boring. That's it.

That Stowa is a stunner. It's firmly on my list now.

Don't suppose anyone has taken the plunge on one of the Stowa's as above?

Would love to see some real images?

Quite fancied getting a bronze watch for some time myself, mainly after seeing an artificially aged oris which looks pretty cool. Might be tempted by a cheaper one and have a play around.

This.

Love it and it gets many compliments.
Starting to patinate nicely which is countered by the shiny bits which come into contact with shirts etc.

Lot of love for those Big Crowns, great watches. I still regularly look at Tudor BBBs especially the first model with the brown dial but I just can't get away with wearing one. Must be my wrist size against the case size somehow, my 43mm Sea Dweller fits perfectly.

But i've also taken a real interest in these Undone watches - seems a decent price point too. - But it's available on a rally strap rather than the blue fabric.



Or this from Spinnaker - however the price point for entry is a little high - they do seem very reasonable as a used option - when they come up for sale!

I have a bronze Steinhart, but not much bronze is on show. What I really want is something with a bronze bezel and no insert.

ETA but I want a diver.

A new option from Rado to add to the mix,

Not bad.

Am looking for more a pilots watch than a diver.
I love the new IWC Spitfire as well as the Tag Autavia - both in bronze with green dials

Shameless plug - I have a Chris Ward C60 Trident Bronze for sale - 38mm and unworn

38mm is too small for me, and I'm not a fan of Chr. Ward, or whatever they're calling themselves this week

[lostkiwi]

Been wearing this this week.
Says bronze but it's actually trumpet brass due to a mistake made by the case supplier.
