Bronzo Aragon

Recommended Posts

Theduke.williams

Just ordered myself another Aragon watch - this'll be my second one, and it looks as if it'll be a beast - ideal for my thick wrist;-

Can't go wrong with the prices, and my previous one seems to be well made. Great value watches at the price point.

Will get some pictures up when the new one arrives.

NICE pickup! I do like a MOP dial and that blue looks spot on.

Sir Duke.Williams, please do post pics when your watch arrives. Especially a close-up or two of the dial.

Very nearly went for the full lumed face version, but white hands on white background just seemed like it could make reading the time a bit difficult in certain light.

Besides, the mother of pearl looks like it could be really nice.

Either way, these prices are really good, get them while they're on sale!

So, the Bronzo turned up today and wow - the Mother of Pearl gives an amazing play of light. Difficult to capture in photos the change in colours as the angle of light changes.

I can only imagine how well the blue / purple irridescent face will match the case when it develops some patina.

I'm glad now I didn't go for the full lume face.

This is the 50mm size watch, and I think it suits my large wrist well.

The strap is quite a nice supple silicon type, that I must say is very comfortable, however I do see a custom leather strap in the future.

Hopefully the stainless steel display back will prevent my wrist from being stained

 

I hope you like the pictures.

Wing does it again, absolute steal that watch! Looks great can’t wait for the patina! 

Are you going for natural patina or gonna speed it up?

I think I'll leave it to age naturally, seems to give a deeper bronze with less verdigris.

Will also give me plenty of time to save up for one of TanGo's Gothic Bronze style leather straps :D

Kinda skint now, I've had a busy month!
