xaneda 1 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Hi all, So I got my new crown back from Amanda. It was very rose gold like. So to solve the issue of having a different color crown guard, I had to restart the patina. Before the lemon bath, I got my watchsmith to remove the movement just in case the watch isn’t waterproofed. Out after the 1st 15mins in the lemon bath. Then washing with toothpaste and brushing. Out after the 2nd 15mins in the lemon bath, After washing and brushing with toothpaste again. Movement back in after greasing of the casket. Back on the strap. Consistent color throughout. Happy bronzo again. LET THE AGING BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!! Edited July 3, 2016 by xaneda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boredpanda 1 Posted August 10, 2016 Day 2 Day 33 1 month of summer after lemon bath. Just curious.. why does it seem you always have the bezel 1-click off?? It'd kill me inside out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamsonAusKognito 31 Posted August 10, 2016 I love the look after this hole process, but splitting the case from the movement is more for the advanced tinkerer, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwladboy 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Really great thread this. As someone interested in the 382 and a total noob I had no idea how this Patina was done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boutsk 0 Posted January 8, 2018 Nice patina! I've just ordered mine and I m trying to find the best way to remove factory patina. Seems that brushing with toothpaste left hairline scratches on the brushed finish. Or am I wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
