I heard the cleaning routine to "restore" them is easy but can be time consuming. I may also have issues with bronze on skin even with the stainless caseback. Allergies and allergic reactions run strong in my family (not something I am proud of or happy about) so it may not be worth the risk. :oops:
FWIW, I thought about possible skin irritation with the bronze as I have sensitivity, but I took the chance anyway, and I have not had any reaction to it. This watch has a stainless/clear caseback and for the price and return policy, I took a chance on it and it worked out.

As far as patina, I am good with it doing its thing. Like an old brass golf putter, it adds character and gives a vintage look to it.

Have fun with the new Explorer II Polar!

I am thinking maybe the black Vacona® Leather strap meant for the C1 Moonglow might be a good fit for the Sealander Dagger/Silver dial watch. Go from the stock grey leather to upgraded black leather and from the stock pin buckle to a nicer deployant clasp.
