Blackbay 58 bronze landed
I was lucky enough to be invited to a tudor event in London today with an opportunity to purchase the bronze.
It wasn't much of an event tbf and they had loads of "exhibition pieces" Here he is! 20211020_184103.jpg20211020_183725.jpg Sent from my SM-F926B using Tapatalk |

Congrats, looks great.
So did they have the BB58 Bronze in the display to sell? Thought the waitlist was long for them. |

It's a really fantastic piece. I'm loving mine. Size is perfect, dial is awesome and the bronze is such an engaging material.
My slightly more patininated example says hello from Australia. ![]() Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk |

Will the bronze stay looking golden like that or will it tarnish??

There are a few videos around showing patina and cleaning methods. Mine gets a Polydent (denture cleaning tablet) bath every now and again if I'm feeling the patina is too dark. I don't believe these pieces will get to "crusty" like some Panerai models.
In humid Queensland weather, I do suffer a lightly stained wrist at the end of the day, and the patina does make the bracelet articulate more stiffly than SS bracelets. That said, I'm still loving it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biPgSOjLejo |

It looks great, that brown dial works well with the bronze.
6 months is not too bad. |

Boil an egg, when it is hard boiled crush it and put it in a sealable plastic container along with your watch.
Wait for the patina to develop to your liking and then remove your watch. |

Wait till you see the vids using tomato ketchup to clean off the patina and return it to new looking.....

I never noticed until just now that the Bronze has an explorer 3, 6, 9 type face whereas the other BB58 models do not. It looks fantastic!
