Donerix 2.0 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thank you I am not really a big bronze fan, but this one came out really nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nice looking watch, skillfully executed, but, the whole "bronze" thing still just looks like an old dirty gold watch to me...And I've seen more than enough of THOSE over the years...!

slask111 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Looks great, im impressed. Sorry im a n00b, but the dial print has a "rolex" logo? Can somone teach me why that is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Very early Panerai had Rolex pocket watch movements. Cal 540 if I am not mistaken. This "rep" has a Cortebert 616 wich is as close as you can come in a very good homage (If you do not have a Rolex movement) this is just a very very short summary. The history is much longer... So this Bronzo vintage watch has all the bells and wistles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre V Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Amazing bronze project you have completed Eric. One thing about bronze cases, the patina accelerates much faster than any other metal materials. In time, you will have a vintagized look faster than you can imagine. Especially with the sun exposures you have at your location, can't wait to see the development in a couple of months, even weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
