I must say the design of that sub-dial/date window is not for me at all...I would be strongly tempted to slap the designer for that one.  Dial design aside, would love to hear your thoughts on the build and case finishing on this 'new ownership' Anonimo...which is now stated to be swiss made. |

Awesome to hear that fit/finish, overall build and lume are fantastic! The chocolate brown dial and that strap combo does look great against that bronze case! Also great to hear that timekeeping is spot-on with the SW260...and, of course, the price...clincher indeed. Enjoy it buddy!  |

Looks good Oscar! no new watches for me today... did get a snow day though! I've been really reluctant to get anything bronze, any thoughts on how they are going to hold up long term?  Last edited on Wed Jan 11th, 2017 12:38 pm by OldeCrow |

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. |
