Wow! CHIP that is amazing patina, over such a short time! Did you bath it in salt water or something? Whatever it is, I think it looks great!

Plus a few hours yesterday when I wore the Tudor. I think the 108 temperature, above normal humidity, and the fact that it was on my wrist under a glove for 500 miles on the bike in the heat did the trick. I cleaned most of it it in half a minute using toothpaste.

The Al-Bronze on the Tudor is slower.

Baco Noir carl both the Tudor and the IWC are aluminium bronze, not sure what accelerated mine so much.
