Looks great but will the verdigris not affect your skin?

if it were my watch and i knew how the patina came about, i'd LOVE it....if i bought it from someone else, i'd clean it up like-new (easy to do), and start my own "story" with the watch.

cool to see how crazy the patina can get!

Uhhh, not my cup of tea, looks like something they found on an old shipwreck,

-Not a +10 000 USD, 3 month old watch IMHO....

Bronze is clearly not for me...

x2 Not a fan of the bronzos or dirty dials

I mean they look good, but would never pay the $ for one. I'm still saving up for a pvd ceramic model

Beautiful patina, do you mind sharing how to achieve this?

And is it possible to get it back looking new again?

Might look cool if it turns all green (like the Statue of Liberty), but this looks like an in between phase.
