Pam507. How to age bronze quickly?

Hey Guys, I recently just polished my Pam507 Bronzo as it aged to the point where there were too much stains for my liking and green patina all over. I did the polishing myself by hand. It is literally shining right now. Was wondering if anyone has any quick fix for it to age a little faster. It looks pretty much like a rose gold Pam507 which doesn't look too good.

What did you polish it with a Brillo pad? It looks very scratched. I am not a bronze watch fan but everything I've read suggest just soaking it in a solution and it should return it to its original finish. I would hesitate to pull her shit because you're removing bronze which is a soft metal to begin with

Houseofantiquehardware.com has a product made specifically for aging bronze. Not sure how rapidly it works. Obviously use caution.

Nice watch. I'd have left it alone.

I don't think the finish ages I think it rapidly corrodes.
