Don't you mean "patinate?"
Have you ever seen old sterling silver?Don't you mean "patinate?"
Of course I have. I both own and wear sterling silver. In fact, here is a sterling cuff I've worn continuously for nearly a year. No lacquer, no waxing, no surface treatment of any kind. Doesn't look bad, does it?
B&R made a watch out of Argentium a few years ago - apparently the tarnishing is very subtle - but no-one GAF. The important thing is, this is a Black Bay; it could be made of coal and the words and funds would just come tumbling out.
thats the point though, just like bronze watches. if you really dont like it you can always rub some toothpaste on it and rinse it off since its a diver. toothpaste won't damage the finish anyways.
i thought that silver actually tarnishes less with skin contact and use. atleast thats what jewellers told me and observation wise that seems to be accurate. if i dont use silver accessories and jewellery and just let them sit, they tarnish way faster than when i consistently use them.
For me, the BB is not a PM watch.
You're exactly right, which is why completely smooth silver pieces like the above poster's bracelet/cuff actually look decent with continuous wear. But for any jewelry or watch with nooks and crevices, the recessed parts are going to turn black after a few months because they're hidden away from skin contact.
Agreed. They could have brought back the Ranger, the Tuxedo, etc., but instead we get more black bays nobody asked for. And if your going to release a chronograph, how do you miss an opportunity to take advantage of the current Daytona hype and not release an updated Prince Chronograph?
