Yeah, it didn't look completely clean at the end, either. However, after mine came with some premature oxidation under the protective film, only doing the baking soda and lemon juice treatment cleaned it up completely. For heavier oxidation, you'd probably have to repeat the steps a couple of times to get everything.

Perhaps if you liked the look of bronze when new - pre patina. They often have a gold or rose gold look that’s quite attractive, without being precious. To my taste, bronze cases look great brand new and with minimal patina. A truly deep, dull brown patina, does nothing for me. The idea that the patina of every watch is a reflection of each owner’s story or personal relationship with their watch, that’s so overblown. By comparison, there’s very few videos of bronze case watches shown with a full patina. To done degree, that’s because it’s far more appealing to look at a brand new bronze case shining like gold, while describing the magic about to take place than it is to see one after a year of wear. This video is a great example, they clean a watch that doesn’t need to be cleaned.

Sean G The problem here is “they“. “They“ make up stuff to post on the Internet to appear knowledgeable, particularly when they know nothing. As a metallurgical engineer who Has worked around all kinds of metals, gaskets and seals, I wear my watches in the shower all the time. I guess soap might damage A watch seal if you used a very concentrated solution and immersed the watch in it for a lengthy period of time. I don’t advise doing this. However, this is extremely different, corrosion wise, than letting very dilute soap run over the watch for a few minutes at a time. I would agree not to wear your watch in the Jacuzzi, as the heat changes both the fluid characteristics of the water and accelerate any chemical reactions. As to how to clean the watch, I guess you have to decide whether you believe “them”, or the people that made the watch.

Don't shower or go to jacuzzi with expensive watches. If the water is warmer (or cooler) than your wrist (around 30 C) then various metal parts expand or shrink at different speeds and degrees and that tends to create ways for the water to get in.
@DerSnipOr
Жыл бұрын
@@G_Rizzly So you don’t think that the watchmaker is using seals which on which pressure is applied by screwing down? The seals just lie there waiting for any shrinking or expanding to happen? Sure - and like that you get a water resistance of up to x100 meters. I recommend looking at a table of expanding coefficients before posting such stuff. Watches are made to mich higher standards than most people put them through. If a divers watch cannot be used for showering - the trash is the place to put it. When showering with your Bronze Watch you get much less green patina and dirt on your watch as it is cleaned regularly. My experience by showering - just screw down your crown before…

If you really want it clean; submerge in tomato ketchup for up to 5 mins. Or drop it in white vinegar for a minute or so. Both will render the patina gone. It can however change the color of the bronze a tad, giving it a red-ish hue.

Very disappointing video. Sorry, but given the whole point of the video is to show the effects of two different cleaning methods, why are we not shown a clear view of the state of the watch initially and then after each treatment? You managed to show us multiple superfluous views of the back of the watch while removing the leather strap and several more wasted views of froth and fizz. Waste of time- if you are going to produce a video like this, please do it properly or not at all.
