Liver of Sulfur + Helson = AWESOMENESS!

Post by cpd c63 » Mon Jan 21, 2013 11:48 am

Sold my last Helson to a friend, but missed it so much, I saved for a new one and found a great deal...but this one didn't have as much patina as I'd like...so I tried the liver of sulfur, and I love it! What do you guys think? The strap is a blue radish....perfect match

That looks amazingly bad ass/cool. That is one Helson I dig, and your patina is the best I've seen yet. The strap does indeed set it off.

That looks cool but I like bronze watches all gold and shiny.

I liked the patina on your old one a tad more, but overall, looks great!

Thanks for all the kind words and compliments guys! I know patina is very subjective, but I figured I'd try something different! I think this color looks a bit better for me since I'm a brownie...the lighter bronze looks too much like gold....

If anyone needs info, there is plenty of it out there, but feel free to PM me for instructions or which solution I used (gel)

Very nice Ameet ! VERY nice !!! The whole combination is
excellent I think. Just really has an eye-catching look all
the way around with the finish now, but also the teaming
up with that strap there. Beautiful ! ..I hope you enjoy !

Looks good.

Great thing about this is if you don't like the job you've done, you can clean it up and start again.
