Always excellent content, congrats.

Much appreciated!

Love the bronze!

[@GalorOffroad]

I have that Tandorio 36mm bronze since last year. I modded it with a domed acrylic crystal, a bronze buckle, I mattified the original leather strap and applied a quick patina in and out the case with ammonia vapors (the look is natural, it is just faster than waiting many months-years to have the same result). It really looks great with these modifications, I like this watch a lot !

[@c.s2001]

Never seem this type of comparison before. Well done Wes.

[@motouno3778]

Great list Wes 👌 . I bought a Steeldive Panerai bronzo homage last year but found it sat a bit strange on my wrist 😢 . Never ended up wearing it , still sitting in the cupboard . That Thorn 50 Fathoms homage looks fantastic ... hhmmmm . Cheers mate

[@gregtolley3455]

Great list, I have a bronze Octopus Kraken Oris big crown I really wish they would bring back.

[@weswatches]

Very nice😎

[@mattt1974UK]

The Boderry is nice but the leather strap splits after a while.

[@tpop3723]

How do you keep them from going green or is that part of the charm?

[@brucecoleman7412]

Hey Wes! I recommend the Boderry Sea Turtle. $169 USD with a lumed honeycomb dial. My friend has one and it’s awesome!

[@weswatches]

Thx for your feedback 👍 I have reviewed that one about a month ago..Titanium and black Honeycomb dial😎 awesome watch

[@r377-g8w]

I love bronze watchers thanks for the video

[@josecardenas4013]

Awesome video

[@regin_chao]

the chinese words dial should be inspired from the undone 苦空無常

[@christopherverdet7926]

Great video Wes thank you. The day before your video I was looking for a good bronze BB homage for around $150 but still can't find one? Given that the BB was one of the watches that really got the bronze trend going and considering how many steel BB's there are I think the Ali vendors are missing an opportunity. Will probably just get the Addies Willard to scratch the bronze itch so really appreciate your appraisal.

[@weswatches]

Glad I could help!

[@indianreacts929]

Is the tandorio having sapphire or synthetic sapphire ??

[@JohanDee]

There are many more, what about the new bronze Gull Tron in the style of a Longines Legend? 😂

[@Stealingtime40]

Bronze isn't my thing, but good video 👍 What formal watch would you recommend £50 ISH ? I'm looking at the Berny swiss railroad with the st1613 or the sea-gull with the st17. Even the two pagani cocktail dials.

[@weswatches]

I like the Berny ..

[@Spectrecontrol]

I love bronze - I want all of these ! 😄

[@davekat4680]

Bronze can look kind of cheesy to me. I do like both Thorn offerings 🍻 Cheers Wes

[@richardpool9970]

I can highly recommend the IXDAO Bronze watch on this list as it is/was great to look at and wear. Sadly, Air France managed to lose my luggage containing the watch and from what I can see the prices have gone up maybe 10% since I bought in 2023.

[@weswatches]

Wowzers! Great feedback on the watch, hopefully your trip was insured☝️

[@richardpool9970]

@@weswatches Yeah we're covered but it's just a headache I could do without

[@balthazarbeutelwolf9097]

The Boderry is not on a Canvas strap, it's on a leather strap. But it is indeed a NATO, and that is a bit of an issue because these tend to be rather bulky.

[@weswatches]

I believe there are both options ie. Leather and canvas. Considering my titanium Voyager sits on a canvas strap☝️

[@balthazarbeutelwolf9097]

@@weswatches The one you showed was on suede leather, there are two colour options, but both leather. And I've only seen the bronze Voyager available on leather on AliExpress. There are Voyager listings on Ali with different strap options, but within those the bronze one is leather only.

[@nonsolorasatura9093]

Exist a way to check that they are really made from bronze and don't brass?

[@gregtolley3455]

Pt5000 not 500.
