I am a few years late to the bronze. Here is mine, brand spankin’ new. Will post updates as it ages.

Post yours, or some cool ones you’ve seen.

The tropic style Baltic strap made the buckle look and feel wonky. The bronze buckle fits perfectly with my own home made strap (above). The watch arrived quickly. Despite stops in Switzerland, Germany, Heathrow and two Canadian locations. Shipped on Monday. Arrived Friday.

Coincidentally, just got back from a trip to South and SE Asia and I'm still wearing the only watch I took with me. It's starting to show a bit of aging.

Very nice! Been looking at them for a potential daily since someone posted about them a few weeks ago. You’ll have to keep up updated on how it wears. Beauty of a watch, Sir!

I want one. I could get a Helson or something cheap but I want something special. Probably the Otis Carl Brashear, this one:



My problem is that these are universally strap worn and I really have never found a strap that I really like. So, maybe not.

My hamilton out of the box in January:




Just this past week during #NoRepeatNovember where I wore a different watch every single day and documented in on my facebook feed 😀


Much like you said it's lost the shine. I have a microbrand that i got april 22 and it's almost brown already. I'll post that next.

Why are the 15 and 45 on the bezel on the wrong side? What is this tomfoolery?

It's a bidirectional countdown bezel rather than count-up diving bezel.

Wow! Just like our Canadian Olympians. Lots of Bronze. That green strap is nice. Nice collection.
