Would you?!

[DoctorA]

I recently acquired two bronze Tudors, a BNIB blue Bucherer and a preowned brown face one

My question is, would in any way harm the watch or affect its value to dip it in vinegar and salt to remove the patina off?

I don’t plan to ever selling it but want to make sure its value isn’t affected

In the coin collection world, that’s a big no no! And wasn’t sure what’s it like in the watch world

Finally, for those who own bronze watches, what’s your experience been like and what have you used to clean/remove patina?

Thank you!!
