Awesome Oscar!!!!  ...I will be waiting in anticipation of the "Gauge" showing up on your wrist!!!! This is a cool one (I got distracted by something else in the meantime...and well...a WIS has to show a little restraint!!!)  I was VERY tempted, however.Would love to see some pics of your Bronze Shark Diver after a trip to the steam room!!!! I had the same thoughts as you in that high humidity and heat has got to be very good for developing some patina!!!! Look forward to seeing it in the daily post (or please feel free to post it up as a separate post!!!)  ...it sure seems like there is interest from impatient WIS regarding how to get that virgin bronze to get on with the patina. Man, how I wish I was near a tropical location (happened back near Christmas, but all before the bronze pieces started showing up).

Awesome Oscar!!! The B-Shark looks very cool and the patina is really coming along!!!  As far as I know, both the Moray and the Shark Diver use the UNI 5275 Alloy (CuAl11Fe4Ni4)...Anonimo uses this Alloy on their bronze pieces too...I know that Kazimon used a different Alloy for their Bronze 1500. I think the fact that the Moray is a Blasted finish sort of "opens up" the metal a little more which I'm thinking is contributing to them looking very different in appearance (only my thoughts though...  ).Can't wait to see those Gauge pieces start to arrive!!!

Can't see that one unless you are going to use it for diving only. Just not practical to wear IMHO. Thank you for sharing.

I put myself on the waiting list, crossing my fingers for an email, but realistically I know it's a long shot.
