eunomians Posted November 20, 2013 Report Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) May I introduce you to my Esdee Mille Metri Bronze homage beast As you can see, a little patina is in the works! This watch is so wonderfully made. It truly is an engineering marvel. I opted for a waterproof plexi crystal for that vintage look. Certainly a grail watch for me and I won't sell it! Very very highly recommended!!! I hope you enjoy seeing these pics! Edited November 20, 2013 by eunomians
ogladio Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Very envious here mate, congrats to that! Is the bezel made of a different alloy than rest of the case?
eunomians Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Posted November 21, 2013 No actually the bezel and case are of the same exact alloy. I took the pics quickly after exposing the case to sulphur (the hard boiled egg in a bag trick). The bezel had a lotta oil that I had rubbed into it. The case didn't have the oil. I have since rubbed both the case and bezel so the patina matches. Cheers
visitor Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Well, it certainly looks like a piece of scrap
eunomians Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Posted November 21, 2013 This piece of scrap is a little smaller than the PAM 1950. It weighs less as well. It is very wearable in actuality. It photographs way bigger than it is.
PeteM Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Lovely mate.. personally I would like to watch the patina develop and eat the egg ... have you got the brass hilted strap too? if so have you done that too?
mellons Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 The case will wear nicely As you wear it sharp edges will polish up a little and the other areas not in contact will darken further Its a really nice material- changes as you wear it
mellons Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Btw you should post up a link of the original piece of scrap- you know the bronze mille metri prototype that sold last year for $120k
fitmic Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Holy crap Batman! That's an awesome piece.
mir36 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 That is sweet! Could you post a wristie?
tech Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 what a hunk of uber-liciousness…post a wristie already!
eunomians Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Posted February 13, 2014 Yes, the case is solid bronze. The build quality on these MMs are second to none. I very very highly recommend picking one of these up if you can.
blueradish Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 This is absolutely stunning! Beautiful job aging this badboy.
eunomians Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks! It's a lovely beast but very wearable on a day to day basis.
Vegasvic Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Seriously, that is so beautiful, it makes you want to cry! I bet you get a TON of comments when you wear that around.
chrisser88 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Who sells these beautiful beasts? I want.
