Super high grade polishing!

Decided to try to take the patina out. Baking powder and lemon lest see how this works.

Dude...what?? If that's a bronze Black Bay, and you wanted to remove thr patina, literally all you had to do was dunk it in lemon juice and rinse with clean water. I have no idea what the baking soda will do, but I'm pretty sure it's abrasive and is not going to make you happy when the smoke clears.

Chill out guys he removed the case before he did it. Baking soda and lemon juice is great for automatic movements!

Yes!

The patina nonsense is over, enough with people trying to convince you that a soiled dial is something of value. Clean those dials, make them like-new again!

Patina!? Watch has been out for what? A month. Did you do a forced patina?

Def interested to see what's happening here. :)

Maybe a new trend?
Perhaps we should all switch to same avatar?
Maybe this...

Why not just tie it to a string and drag behind your car down a gravel road. That will add some character marks pronto.

Hilarious! What are the odds of two members with the exact same avatar?

You would think they should be pics of their own dogs unless both stole them from somewhere or their dogs and homes look the same?
