I for one would be interested but I also like to mix things up. I would LOVE to see a PVD/DLC edition or carbon fiber or ceramic cased model as well.

Come on guys, variety and choices are good!

DoxaDavid · 27 December 2019, 04:51 AM

The BB bronze Tudor doesn't have a date so it's a no go for me.

Wow! Love the patina! Can you post more pics of that bronze Black Bay?

Jona · 27 December 2019, 06:56 AM

OK. It patinas rather fast. A few hot summer days and some sweat will get it going.

BigBoy17 · 27 December 2019, 07:01 AM

A bronze submariner with green dial? That would be killer

Tridor · 27 December 2019, 07:36 AM

Nope. Not interested in bronze or its gradual darkening.

dnpina · 27 December 2019, 08:06 AM

Leave the bronze to Richemont. They do a great job with it. Rolex needs to concentrate on making small incremental improvements to their unobtainable ceramic bezeled stainless steel sport watches.

Just1More · 27 December 2019, 09:02 AM

not in your life

BelovedWatch · 27 December 2019, 09:03 AM

I think the patina aspect is awesome but I'm not sure how "high end" I find the material. Knowing Rolex that'd make it perfect.

I also don't really get the craze.

...wouldn’t solid bronze be the heaviest of all metals to make a watch out of? Talk about wearing your arm out.............

No Oysterbronze for me!

Tudor offers Bronze options. They look nice brand new. I’m not sure I will like the look when it starts looking like this

Nice collection. Just wish they put a DATE on them!

Jostack · 27 December 2019, 11:22 AM

I would have interest, but from what I hear of RSC service, they don’t like patina on even their most perfect of vintage watch offerings. Could you imagine the ranting and raving of owners getting their nicely patina’d bronze Rolex back from service looking nice and new?

lamnyc · 27 December 2019, 11:22 AM

Not for me.

Thanks

I don’t miss the date as I look at my calendar when I have my coffee 1st thing in the morning...I guess I’m lucky I remember the date for each day...been doing it for so long I guess...

Art 1 · 27 December 2019, 11:34 AM

No.

10klakes · 27 December 2019, 11:36 AM

Yes, I would love it if Rolex made a bronze sub or SD. I would buy one, absolutely.

juve · 27 December 2019, 11:53 AM

NO ... so far

Already got one. Rolex bronze is called Everose.

Seriously though, no I don’t think they will make bronze cases. IMO bronze came and has left the station. Personally I would like to see a Rolex ceramic, but I won’t hold my breath.

locutus49 · 27 December 2019, 12:42 PM

Millennials like bronze. Boomers not so much. It has to do with millennial's preference for things that have patina.

Onikage · 27 December 2019, 12:56 PM

Not my cup of tea. Nasty penny material.

Wobbly · 27 December 2019, 09:22 PM

Bronze just looks dirty, not for me thanks,

Brew · 27 December 2019, 09:27 PM

Bronze bracelets are problematic, so leather or rubber would be necessary. I can't imagine any of the current pieces that aren't already on either being switched by Rolex to accommodate a new case material. That's what Tudor is for.

A watch dial in that patina might be interesting.

blufinz52 · 27 December 2019, 10:21 PM

Negative on a bronze any watch for me.

Bybybmw · 27 December 2019, 10:31 PM

No on the bronze. After my Navy service I swore to never own another personal piece that needed any Brasso or any other polishing product.
