Balad1 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Here's a brass gen I'm working on, trying to duplicate GBOGH's great looking watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessestone 0 Posted November 27, 2012 wow how did you do it? where can I get one? im looking for a sub model.. looks awesome.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Here's a brass gen I'm working on, trying to duplicate GBOGH's great looking watch. Give it a dip in regular white vinegar for a couple minutes. That will bring out the copper tones in it. That's what I did on mine if you are trying to get to a similar color tone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now you fucking tell me :( Just kidding, I got some chemicals from Serge and at first blush that's what I came up with. As you and I know, if the watch was bronze rather than brass we could get a better patina on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted November 27, 2012 wow how did you do it? where can I get one? im looking for a sub model.. looks awesome.. The watch is sold out but the gen company has refurbs (like new) with a quality brown strap for $285. Email them if interested. PS: The Bronze buckle is $30 extra http://www.magrette.com/the-timepieces-regattare-brass.php Here are watch photos prior to modding it: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you provided the guinea pig testing. The problem is that it's brass as we know and you can't get the green patina on it like the buckle. I'm not totally satisfied with my results but will see how it wears in. As we know it can always be Cape Cod clothed and started over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried it 3 times on the watch, it discolors it but will not turn patina green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trksh-bzr 3 Posted November 27, 2012 What's All the fuzz? Just buy the solid bronze 382, which isn't gold plated, like greg has Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serge D 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Ted, if youre going to redo it over, add more water to the mix, it will make the solution work slower, so you have more time to see when to wash it off. Its weird that green patina wont work on the case, i have used it plenty of times on brass and bronze alloys. Hope your bronze watch isnt just bronze plating Looks good! Too good for a beginner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
