I'm super excited about the second series of Bromo's anodie.gifsnoopy1.gifparty.gif

I missed on the first series and regretted it so I reserved a brown dial with numerals, model E I think?

Who got one and which model??

Cheers. Brice happy guy.gif

Originally reserved a red dart dial P but then changed to a brown dart H.

Awaiting to see what the darker red sun-brushed dial will like it and hopefully change back if I like it.

Wasn't going to order a Bronze model but regretted pulling out of the first series and what with the same type of bronze being used in the Benarus as the Panerai everyone is talking about I changed my mind :)

I will wait for the stainless steel version, for the red dial... I think it will look better with the silver hands.

It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be many pictures of the first series of Bronze Morays, be interesting to see what patina they've developed. I f anyone has any get posting!

I'm going to regularly photograph mine to record the colouration of the bronze over time.

I got an E brushed as well. I think it will go well with the bronze case and a nice leather band. Cant wait. I would have really liked a blue also but cant do both:(.

I like the countdown bezel...the B-Mos were available with plain bezel and standard engraved dive bezel,but many divers prefer the countdown.You have someone to do the engraving?ThumbsUp02.gif

very cool pics Sam.ThumbsUp02.gif..I wonder what kind of cost you are looking at?...wouldn't it have been easier to just order the Moray with the standard,engraved dive bezel,or is the countdown bezel that important to you?

The "Moray" iis near perfect for me ... black dial, roman numerals, date, automatic, waterproof... it only needs the bezel countdown!
So yes, it is important to me!
I don't know the cost .. be sure, I tell you (and I show you, of course !).

Thanks Brice! You are correct...the Bronze Moray Series 2 is a different Bronze formulation all together...I have no idea what to expect in terms of differences in Patina.  I can tell you that based on my experience with Brushed and Blasted Bronze of the same formulation, the Blasted seems to take on patina more quickly (don't know if this is do to the metal being more "opened up" or what, but those are my observations).

I'm looking forward to seeing the Bronze Moray Case in the different, upcoming Brushed version...I think it will look spectacular!

Yes...should look sort of like the Helson Bronze Shark Diver with it's Blasted Crown (although I do really like the contrast of the brushed ss crown on mine).

whichone.gif...you'd trust me with your pride and joy with a patina spa treatment???...that would make me a bit nervous I think bro...too much pressure to not screw it up!!!subtlelaugh.gif

my question was:is the countdown bezel that important to you, to pay for it aftermarket,when you could have just reserved this bezel(pictured) at no cost?

I booked the bezel without engraving (model B), I would burn if it is not expensive ...
Watches with "countdown"bezel are few ...
The use of "Countdown" bezel is different from the "diver" bezel ...
With diver bezel, indicate the starting point (time diving) and the bezel shows the time elapsed since the start ...
With the "count down" bezel, the indication is the time not to exceed ... the numbers indicate the time remaining before this point.
I prefer to use this!

I know the 2 different style bezels and how they operate,but TY for the explanation my friend... apparently the countdown bezel is something you don't mind paying extra for,I look forward to your pics.ThumbsUp02.gif
