Tudor Bronze Bay (Rep): Plated or Solid Case?

Recommended Posts

bloon

I was looking for bronze watches and I came across the Corguet version which was plated bronze. From TD sites, they state the Tudor Bronze Bay is completely  bronze. Is there any other way to check whether the case set is completely bronze apart from scratching/shearing it down or disassembling the entire kit and testing the density?

only the case back is plated so it doesn't get on your skin, at least in the newer versions!

In the older versions it was all bronze

My XF is definitely bronze all the way through - I've had the back off and its bronze inside.

Also the weight and feel is different to SS. And finally the acoustics, bronze resonates so the watch rings like a mini bell when ticking.

The corguet version isn't even plated bronze, it's a coffee coloured PVD so it won't patina like bronze!

The reps are solid bronze which is why they cost so much more
