i live a work by the (Irish) sea - it will be interesting to see how our inclement weather will effect the patina on the 382 over the coming weeks!

That first picture is insanely good! Thanks for that. :cheers:

A 382 isn't in the cards for me at this point, but, this bronze thing is so cool. Just put a deposit down on a Magrette just to have a tiny piece of the dream. :thumbsup:

One of the coolest watch pics I've seen, awesome job! :dude:

Tried one on today as well, And i must say it's a very cool looking PAM:agree:

Agreed....I didn't say enough in my post above. If that doesn't qualify as "watch picture of the year", I don't know what does. Total perfection!! :cheers:

Simply stunning!!!
Huge congrats!!

super cool picture ever

anyone knows the weight of the Bronzo watch head?

Again. Simply stunning photos. But take care of the strap with the sea water.

yeah i know gave it a wipe down after. Will use the black nylon strap for water based activities over the holidays.

Have ordered a green canvas strap with bronze buckle that should be with me end of Jan.

Thanks for the comments on the photo - i lucked out with the picture i think!
I used a fuji x10 in macro mode for anyone interested.

Amazing watch and photos. Congrats!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: What a beauty, I love it!

a couple of pics from yesterday - starting to loose the shine - I love this watch!

Thank you for sharing such amazing pictures and story of your 382. Any idea how to keep it shiny if I want to maintain the "brand new in box" look? Hoping to get mine in Jan.
