Yeah I’m with this guy…why someone would do this blows my mind…I mean….makes me wanna run through a brick wall. Just let the natural adventures do the work.

This is proof that because something can be done does not mean it should be done. Imagine if people tried aging their wines…

Not sure why everybody is getting their nickers in a knot over a little patina, even if artificially induced. Its not like a little Brasso or something won't take it back to a clean, solid, unmolested color. I was wondering what it would look like with actual patina on these new bronze cases. Not for me but interesting. Do you. Don't worry about the opinion of the masses. I thought that was the whole reason behind buying something like this in the first place, because it will definitely develop a patina over time. The OP just reduced the timeframe. Bravo! Ever seen the Dark Star Rolex?
