Ebels are a lot like women that lack a lowcut dress that zips up the side..neither gets the love that they deserve..

^^^^ Funds permitting, keep all three.

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
Indeed it is, although in many ways it’s more similar to the C65 bronze prototype than different.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:44 am ^^^^ Funds permitting, keep all three.

Absolutely, there’s no imminent need or desire to move any of them on, but I will see how I feel about keeping all three I’ve try coming months

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
I'd definitely keep all three Gary, all great looking watches and suitably different too.

If you include your regular C65 SH21 LE alongside them, then things get even more tricky to decide!

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
Yes it would add to the confusion, however I can categorically confirm that watch is going absolutely nowhere... it remains my favourite

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
Sure, unless you’re burning to liquidate one in search of something else. There are lots of ways you could play with such a combination that would keep them sufficiently different. One could have a patina and non-patina version—perhaps rotating which is which over time. Throw in some different strap options (rubber, NATO, leather) and you could enjoy two very different-looking watches at any given time.

Now that is something I didn't even think of... keep one in a non-patina stateJeremyS wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:30 pm Sure, unless you’re burning to liquidate one in search of something else.

I do also have a great variety of straps... hybrid (blue and black), canvas (blue and black) and leather (dark brown, black, camel and distressed )... so as you say, could keep them mixed up quite nicely

Always happy to enable a fellow watch accumulator! This is one of bronze’s unique qualities: you can drastically alter the appearance by adding/allowing patina or removing it. Moreover, the difference between such finishes is startling. If you had these exact same watches in stainless steel or pretty much any other metal—except maybe silver—you wouldn’t be able to do much aside from change the straps.

Both lovely I think I prefer the aesthetics of the prototype actually

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
I wore both again yesterday and this morning for a few hours each, and yes they do look and feel different... the prototype is much lighter and I just wound and set it, so great for a quick grab and go watch

Re: Bronze Twins - Should I Keep Both ?
I came to post a simple "yes" until I saw the twins became triplets!
Now it's a #&@= yes!
