did you eat the eggs afterwards

[@GinkgoJoe]

Good job! It's a fun process. I left my Zelos Hammerhead over night and it came out beautiful; did the same with a San Martin and it came out totally black. I think the differing Cu content makes a big difference (the San Martin has a more pink hue). Luckily, an acid bath brings them back to new for round two! 👍

[@gregderichsweiler8952]

I actually used a mixture of gun blue and vinegar applied directly and it came out awesome! Varied between very dark and light patina.

I did this but used a plastic zip lock bag a few years ago. It worked brilliantly for me! Another trick I found that worked also was to hang the watch in the shower over about a week. The steam from my morning shower also enhanced the bronze patina.😎👍🏼

Which watch is that?

[@felo6035]

Very cool, thank you for sharing 👍

[@CHAD-RYAN]

What kind of watch was that

[@stavros_katsopr]

Good friend of mine says that my skin colour turns "bronze" in the summer, especially when i'm tired. I won't stand the cleaning method (for sure, not even 20 secs!), but i guess i can try the forcing one, seating next to (lots of) boiled eggs! 😲😋😂😂

[@steven3379]

Good job, I have a Invicta Pro Diver Bronze that I did that process with, it turned out great! What watch is that?... very nice ! I just checked you description, wow that's a expensive piece to do "forced" patina on, I'm not that brave! My Invicta was only 120.00usd! But it's about 5 years old and has a Seiko nh35, it's still working today and looks great!

[@yellownine]

not something i'd do, but i'm impressed with how well it worked..i can imagine someone being caught doing this and having to explain why they are placing a wristwatch between some boiled eggs :D

[@WatchGeek]

Haha I had to explain my wife why there is an egg filled container in our guest room 😂😂

[@son_of_destiny]

I was wondering since when this channel turned into a cooking show 😄

[@Emperor-Of-Karma]

Did the egg catch patina

[@timetowatch_francois]

This was indeed fun! Thanks for doing that ... so I don't :-D Like you, I'd rather have a natural patina forming. Thanks for sharing.

[@betulaobscura]

Better is: 1) hard [over] boiled egg(s) - (over boiled eggs has that greenish ring between yolk and egg white. It took 10-15 minutes to get it.); 2) take out yolk(s); 3) put your watch into yolk(s) or just cover it by yolk(s) paste and put it all into ziplock for long period of time. You are welcome!

[@massafelipe8063]

Thumbnail has some serious How to Basic vibes.

[@murphski8136]

Is it me, or does that watch look more brass than bronze?

[@betulaobscura]

Polished (new) brass and polished (new) bronze are hard to distinguish. There are lots of different types of these alloys.

[@Leewn80]

2 hours is just too short for it to take reaction, you must at least put it inside overnight....

[@cmb1972]

the aging/scratches on the dial looks awful, each to thier own I guess.

[@Kommander_Rahnn]

Suddenly I'm craving egg salad sandwiches.
