That's so sick. I need that watch in my life asap, patina or not!

 

[oakleybadman]

It's a must have in my opinion

Did you use a hard-boiled egg to speed up the patina process?

 

[oakleybadman]

No ammonia fumes

No ammonia fumes

Interesting. I haven't heard of using ammonia to patina bronze, only hard boiled eggs and liver of sulfur. What's the process with the ammonia?

Small cap of ammonia in a bowl(one that has a lid to seal) cap of ammonia sits next to watch. Cover and seal lid. Don't get the ammonia on watch. Let the fumes do the work.
