    Evant Bronze (do you prefer liver or eggs?)

    Well, the Evant Bronze just arrived and we've been enjoying C's adventure in brass and eggs () with his new one, so I owe you a quick before and after as I used liver of sulfur gel on the new arrival Evant.

    I'm sure some prefer to go "the natural patina route", but I live in a very dry climate where patina develops way too slow, and that combined with my lack of patience had me looking to accelerate things right away.

    So without further delay, a few quick before and after shots. ...and no surprise that the iyonk strap I have makes for a perfect combo on the bronze, so I swapped to that strap too!

    That was really effective without going to unwelcome extremes.

    Thank you very much for the pics, Chris!

    Now, enjoy your Evant.

    Thanks so much iyonk! The pleasure is all mine!!! (I know that you've faced a few disappointments recently, but I also know that you will be just fine...and I believe many more opportunities are coming your way my friend!)

    I need to place another order with you for some more straps, that is for sure. How is your leather inventory, and are you making straps currently?
    Cheers,

    Chris

    You know Alan, I completely agree with you!!! Both the fresh bronze, and the patina'ed bronze looks different, but great in its own way.
    Cheers,

    Chris

    That's a very classy watch. Just the right blend of sporty and stylish. Especially good when iyonkified!
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
