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 !

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
@weswatches2 ай бұрын
I believe there are both options ie. Leather and canvas. Considering my titanium Voyager sits on a canvas strap☝️
@balthazarbeutelwolf90972 ай бұрын
@@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.

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