Bronze patina experiment (Fratello)

Post by 0uatiOW »

Despite my preference for natural patina on bronze, here’s a fascinating article from Fratello Watches on forcing the process with some great before-after-after cleaning pictures.

Interesting to see - although I also much prefer the natural patination,

Interesting, but that's not the kind of patina I like, or want. For me, it's the lovely golden brown that looks so nice, not the green, crusty finish.
