My experience is the same as Oscar's. I have several Bronze cased watches (in both the Aluminum Bronze and Copper Bronze alloy formulations), and all have "held up" with no issues whatsoever. I guess it depends on what you mean by "held up". As Oscar has noted, the surface will take on a nice patina over time (a patina that varies based on the environments the watch experiences, or if you use one of the liver of sulfur gels to accelerate it). You can remove the patina easily with lemon juice, or a baking soda slurry (or cape cod, but the cape cod is capable of fine polishing metal so that could affect the original finish be it brushed or blasted IMO). So, the bronze holds-up with no degradation to the bronze material itself...it is only the appearance of the surface that changes over time. It's really a personal preference thing, some people don't like this attribute of Bronze, while others love it. I'm in the Love camp.
