It seems every watch manufacturer has a bronze model these days with a preponderance of diver editions.

Tudor offers the BB in bronze so it bodes the question, will the mothership follow suit?

If they do, the obvious choice would be to have it as a Submariner or a Sea Dweller.

I don’t currently have a bronze watch in my collection but have consider acquiring one.

If they did, would you buy it?

No.

Bronze metal just doesn’t have quite the same appeal to me

Watchflair · 27 December 2019, 01:58 AM

I'd consider it - really depends on the model and configuration.

If that is what I liked-Yes. Do not care one bit what anyone else thinks. I am wearing it.

Is the metal on other makers' watches actually bronze or SS plated in bronze?

jitdc · 27 December 2019, 02:04 AM

I wouldn't, but I think IWC has a nice looking bronze spitfire. Just not for me but nice looking non the less.

joli160 · 27 December 2019, 02:19 AM

No, not for me

100%

A bronze YM1 please

But it is impossible.

Santiago79 · 27 December 2019, 02:24 AM

Not my first choice, but I wouldn't say never I would consider it.

Hub6152 · 27 December 2019, 02:26 AM

It’s really an academic question since I’d stake my life on the fact that Rolex would never do it anyway since bronze has absolutely no advantage over 904L steel that there’d be any need for it, and in any case that’s exactly what Tudor is for.

Rebel · 27 December 2019, 02:26 AM

No.

greentimgreen · 27 December 2019, 02:29 AM

Possibly a DSSD, where the material choice makes some sense. But I actually don’t like this trend of bronze

I love bronze watches, the Panerai ones are their most coveted models. As long as they use CUSN8 alloy, that’s the one with the wild patina. Tudor’s aluminum bronze just gets darker.

904VT · 27 December 2019, 02:39 AM

No thanks

r_afficionado · 27 December 2019, 02:43 AM

No, all bronze models I have seen are on straps and I am a bracelet guy. Oris is the only mfg with bronze two ton on a bracelet. I do not know if I like it so not in my collection. I doubt Rolex would do a bronze much less on a bracelet.

They can’t make stainless and you want them to go back to bronze?

Where’s my leaches!

sillo · 27 December 2019, 03:13 AM

No, just not really into bronze watches.

Jona · 27 December 2019, 03:22 AM

I like the Tudor bronze. Rolex would be overpriced.

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

beshannon · 27 December 2019, 03:23 AM

I wouldnt be against it but I would have to see what model they use first

tgyberg · 27 December 2019, 04:20 AM

Not in to bronze at all

martinjames192 · 27 December 2019, 04:26 AM

I won't totally write it off. Well it depends on what it looks and feels like.
