The review will have to wait, but here are some pics of a month old Bronzo that has been worn almost daily.

Very nice indeed Altair. I can appreciate that it's not for everyone, but I really love how it's starting to gain the patina.

While the whole bronze patina thing still leaves me a little cold, I must be honest that Panerai sure know how to make a cool looking watch. That is way nicer than any other bronze piece I've seen out there. The problem with a few other bronze models I've seen is that the dial often looks too modern and pristine once the patina sets in on the case. Not so with the Bronzo : it just seems to work very well indeed.

One thing though Altair - I think you should source a bronze buckle for that strap - that'd be the finishing touch! :thumbsup:

Very nice piece.

I've been waiting for shots of one of these. I'd love to see a series of shots, month by month to see the patina develop.

Damn that's a good looking watch... IMHO probably the best looking Panerai out there... and I love the patina... adds such charm

That's really nice Altair, I like it.

Would be perfect for captain Nemo's sub.
