Still, I saw on FB that a guy received his O.Bronze last wednesday.
He posted 2 days after but the patina looked like crap honestly.
Those watches seems to pop out from the deep like random bubbles without any kind of special communication.
Many are protesting about missing parts who was ordered along the watch and also defects followed by total absence of after-sale service.
My guess is that: If O.T honor his debts towards his customers, he will disappear fast after. IMO the credibility is f@cked.
Each alloy will have a different patina and one should not expect a classic CuSn8 patina on another similar bronze as the small presence of different metals along majority of copper, is changing the chemical process of oxidation.
On Oscar's link from 3T:http://timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=24147&forum_id=1&highlight=olivier
The 20th january 2012, Olivier was showing his first prototype along the Pam 382 who is a CuSn8.
You see very well that the Olivier doesn't even have the same copper reddish tone as the Pam. Both watches are not oxidized: They look fresh.
Still on the 6th februar 2012, Olivier.T was stating: "... our cases are CuSn8, german made and looks exactly how you would expect CuSn8 to look, and age. I have now sourced CuSn8 from both Germany and from here locally in Redondo Beach where I have my buckles made..."
For me: It showed at once, that from the beginning, he was using a very close to CuSn8 alloy but not this very one.
Good luck to all who are still waiting for them watch.
