This crew seems to know the ss Moray II very well, and I will note the only two differences I see besides the "Top-Grade" ETA 2824-2 beating inside...the Bronze-Mo has a 60 click bezel instead of the 120 click bezel found on the ss Moray II (which just sort of suites the entire feel of the Bronze IMO), and the Lume triangle on the bezel is slightly larger on the Bronze when compared to the ss Moray II.
Really loving the Bronze case here which has a nice, even blasted finish as it arrives new. What a fantastic looking case!!!
I could not leave well alone though, and admit to being very impatient to waiting for the patina to develop naturally...over time. So...did the "egg" treatment that Oscar described from Steve at Benarus...I exposed mine for about an hour total, with the only difference being I placed the watch case inside a small plastic cup set on its side to keep moisture developing inside the zip lock bag from coming in contact with the watch case itself. Was attempting to avoid a blotchy effect, but I think the process is random enough that it may be hard to screw anything up anyway...so I don't know if it made any difference.
Some pics: (I put mine immediately on a gunny strap that I had ordered specifically for the Bronze-Mo back when I first did the preorder.)
(These first two are with the case as new)
(These next ones are with some patina developing after the egg treatment)...I like how this is developing a whole lot!!!
