My first post here. I recently just polished my Pam507 Bronzo as it aged to the point where there were too much stains for my liking and green patina all over. I did the polishing myself by hand. It is literally shining right now. Was wondering if anyone has any quick fix to age bronze a little faster. It looks pretty much like a rose gold Pam507 which doesn't look too good.

Only after. Didn't take any pictures before the polishing.

Thanks guys. I don't really want to accelerate the patina. Just want to get back to a darker shade of bronze. Tried out a few methods above, hardly see any difference. Guess I'll have to live for now :(But I have seen in YouTube video the egg method really worked to have Patina.

Yikes! :Startled: Did you use cap code or something to clear off those 'patinas' ? Because the bezel and case was meant in brushed finish even after 'de-patina' it. I did on my tubor bb bronze with toothpaste easy and fast . It is still in its brushed finish as after doing it and look just like when i first bought it.Can you share how you did it and what did you use to clear it off? I may need to clean my Tudor Black Bay Bronze after a while

Sure! Basically i just rubbed the whole case with my hands using the toothpaste, then i start using soft toothbrush to make the toothpaste gets through the case evenly. After doing this, i let the watch sit for 20-30mins with toothpaste on it and directly clear the toothpaste on the case with warm water and you'll see the result :)
I did this and it works
Cheers

To brush off the patina, don't use cape cod or any polish, just submerge it in soda or lime and wait. When it reaches the shade you want, rinse it with warm water.

Don't try anything out of the ordinary because it is irreversible. Just wear it and let it age on its own.
