    Anyone any experience with these? I like the simple display, and the bronze would patina very quickly to give a unique finish.

    €765, new.....

    must. not. order.

    Thats a lot of dollars for a simple movement and a bit of bronze

    I've got a bronze B18 from Lum-Tec (43mm). It's ok as a novelty watch but they are heavy on the wrist.

    if you got your hands on it would you be a polisher or a patina sort of guy?

    I'd def be a patina guy. Realised bronze was heavier but didn't really think you'd notice it - interesting point.

    Before you pull any triggers: Check out Archer watches...... very similar pieces, very reasonable prices, very Canadian quality (a good thing), ETA movements or some really nice vintage Hamilton stuff and Al seems to sorta know his way around a watch.

    The damn things have been tempting me for far too long but there's always one more Omega in the way.
